Magazine practical task
Research
1) Use your lesson notes on magazine genres and conventions to view a range of potential magazine covers. Create a shortlist of three potential magazines and embed an example front cover from each one.
Out of the three magazines i have researched, i chose this magazine due to the fact my main idea centres around this image as i will be using a black model applying the themes of red and black to promote fashion within vogue magazine. Furthermore, i also have previously bought quite a few vogue magazines, thus i know how their displayed and the strap lines that are usually utilised in the front cover. Therefore, this will aid me when producing my magazine cover as i will ensure the details.
3) Find three different front covers for your chosen magazine and embed them in your blog post. Analyse the fonts, colours and typical design. What is the language or writing style? How are the cover lines presented? You need to become an expert in the design and construction of this magazine and its branding.
The general neutral colours in this magazine are blue, black, and green promoting a nature scenery. The fonts applied in the masthead and strap lines are typically vogue fonts applied to conform to audience expectations and gratifications. Furthermore the font in the strap lines are very classy and grow larger in size when highlighting a specific aspect or significance, for example, Beyonce is written in large compared to the rest of the wording to promote and attract the demographic as she is very popular.
