Vogue Magazine

VOGUE

The third magazine that I decided to look at is a Vogue magazine, this type of magazine consists of fashion, different styles and new cloths. Vogue is the most famous and popular fashion magazine for both women and men; it was firstly published in 1892 by the Condé Nast Publications publishing house. Nowadays Vogue magazine is popular all over the world and is published in 18 countries: UK, U.S., Australia, Brazil, Portugal, Russia, China, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, and is called one of the greatest magazines in the world’s market.
The characteristic that I liked the most about this magazine is its simplicity, everything is clean cut and I think that’s what makes it look like such a powerful magazine. This magazine is constantly having new design, high fashion designers and new seasonal cloths, which allows it to have such a large market attached to it. As you can see from the front cover you would instantly know that its name is Vogue, which allows the writers to cover some of its heading, which is also a way of showing its popularity. Throughout the magazine, its simple concept is used of clean cut fonts and everything in order, I personally think that this emphasises how fashionable the magazine itself is. What I like about Vogue magazine is that they don’t need to use too many features for the magazine to gain an audience; an example of this would be the contents page. Although the contents page is plain block and white it still attacks readers and their attention. It shows how professional and risky the magazine is willing to go to keep its edge and clean look.
The typography for this magazine also emphasises its clean cut edge of each sections. The colour scheme as well as the font families on each page is the same allowing the pages to flow from page to page. This keeps the readers interested in every page of the magazine. The magazine also follows the basic rules of colour. For example not using red next to green. The front page consists of Crème, White and Black. The use of delicate colours: white and crème indicate who the intended market are, which i think are for teenagers and upwards. Although the colours make the magazine look serious the layout on most of its double page spreads show that teenagers will also be interested as the text aren’t in order but are spread out to keeps its readers interested.
