Masthead- is big and bold
to attract the audience
because if it was small
then no one would
notice.it is also, on the
side which you don’t see
in any front cover
magazines this is to make
this magazine different to
any of the others.
Red hair makes her
unique and not many
magazines have
models with red hair.
This is a way of letting
people know that even
if your different from
everyone else you can
still go places and
being recognised for
being different is a
good thing. Another
reason why they would
have used red hair is
to represent love and
also danger this could
mean that people are
scared to be and wear
what they love
because of people that
would judge them.
There is not much
writing in this front
cover this is so that the
audience focus mostly
on the image rather
then the texts.
This magazine is known for
having front covers that
only show one eye. This is
what separates this
magazine from the rest
because without even
seeing the masthead
people will already
recognise what the
magazine is whereas every
other magazine has a
similar image to each other.
Rarely are big jewerlly seen
on people on front covers.
The crown indicates
power, legitimacy,
honour and glory.
This magazine is aimed for
teenagers and young
adults, It is clear to see
what audience this
magazine is aimed for
because of the bright and
extravagant colours and
also what kind of style the
model has.
For my magazine I will need images of
people who have an urban dress sense
and also a casual style this way I can
compare the too and have a wide
variety of different styles for the
audience to look at and read about they
can then take fashion inspirations from
these people and also, I will be adding
in what shops the pieces of clothing's
are from this way if they like something
they see they can purchase it from
using the information in my magazine.
To try and achieve real
looking and natural photos I
will be visiting places that
have an urban vibe to them
because this is the thing my
target audience will like to
see the most. I will be taking
pictures of people that I
think have an urban/retro
style to them and will be
placing them as images for
my magazine I will ask them
where each of there
clothing's are from so that I
can have that information in
my magazine for my
audience.
I will be using photos to adjust the images
and put them into a background that will
suit my magazine because in some of th4r
images from outside the background wont
look that appealing to the audience. Also,
form using Photoshop I will be able to edit
the pictures that I gave taken and make
them look exactly how I and my target
audience would want them to look even if
that is adjusting only small things. It is a
great way to turn a good image to an even
better one.
The layout of a fashion magazine is
very different to other normal type
magazines because they have to use a
lot of images so the audience can
understand what type of clothing they
are talking about in the actual writing of
the magazine also, they have to use
images and colours that will appeal to
their target audience and also lay it out
in a way that will appeal to people but
still make it look organized and well
structured so that the audience have a
clear understanding with what is going
on and what images goes with what
section on the article. The colour
scheme is going to be bright colours
but also, have a few dark colours in
there it depends on what the person
being photographed is wearing and
then from there you decide what kind
of background and font colours you will
need to suit the images.
Case studyVogue was founded in 1892 by Arthur Baldwin Turnure, an American
business man it was a weekly newspaper in the United States, sponsored by
Kristoffer Wright. the first issue was published on December 17 of that year,
with a cover price of 10 cents by now the price of a vogue news paper has
gone up by $3.50 because of its popularity and how big it has become since
the start. The magazine’s volume became thicker and its main focus was
turned on women. In1932 the American Vogue for the first time ever had
placed a colour photography on its cover this was a big deal because not
much magazines had colours in them. Since the first vogue magazine it has
completely changed and become more creative, emancipated and sexy. The
Devil Wears Prada movie, had finally turned Vogue into Nr1 Fashion
Magazine of the World, not just reflecting fashion trends, but effectively
shaping them. The magazine was not based in America but it started to
become world wide with country's like; India, Russia, China, UK The British
Vogue was the first international edition. Every June since 2001 during the
Moscow International Film Festival Vogue gives its Award for Best Styling in
a movie. Vogue reportedly makes $2 million annually and is worth around
$35 million this is because it is one of the biggest magazines ever made and
because of the use of the biggest celebrities such as Kim Kardashian,
Beyoncé this brings in more audiences that know of these celebrities. Inside
a vogue magazine would be fashion ideas and inspirations. The colour
scheme for vogue is always different and unique. Target audience for vogue
are 38 year olds the reason for this is because vogue has clothing pieces
that are very expensive and high end so they target it to women who have
the money to buy the clothing's.
