The magazine's style uses loose kerning on the masthead and large central images to appeal to its young, artistic audience interested in cutting-edge trends.
Dazed & Confused + i-D Magazine Analysis
Dazed & Confused and i-D magazines are analyzed in terms of their representation of gender, content, style, symbolism, cultural competence, and changes over time. Dazed experiments with androgynous representation using thin, makeup-less models. I-D represents women as more flirtatious and sexual. Both magazines cover fashion, music, art and culture but i-D focuses more on established artists. Dazed has a minimalist style while i-D keeps covers uncluttered. Symbolism in the magazines includes dark clothing in Dazed and phallic imagery in i-D. The magazines expect cultural knowledge of featured artists and assume multicultural audiences. Both magazines have evolved their styles since starting
