MY RESEARCH ON FASHION
MAGAZINES
MAGAZINE FRONT COVER
Some magazines are very bright, the colours used are very sharp
and some covers are very dull, and there is a reason for the selection
of colors. There are different layouts to a fashion magazine front
cover, for eg winter , fall, jewellery etc. but all these are included in the
genre ‘fashion’.
FOR EXAMPLE: This magazine’s front cover is very
bright. The text ‘sunshine’ is in yellow
color and highlights the fact that it is a
summer magazine. The target audience
for this mag is girls from 17 to 25
years.
The main text is in pink color which
enhances the girly effect and is written
in in center for attention.
WINTER EDITION
• The colors used are not very lively or
bright.
• As her dress is in black color so the
background is white.
• Her jacket and hair were light so to
maintain the color balance they have
changed the color of their logo to red.
• In this layout of front cover small
summeries of contents-written.
• Red color used so that logo-not
awkward.
This is another example of a fashion magazine
cover layout.
• The summaries of contents are written on
this front cover however the main words are
written in capital and bold letters.
• In this cover of harpers bazaar magazine no
summaries are written which differentiates it
from other covers.
• Only the name of main article in magazine is
written in capital letters , to attract audience.
CONTENTS:
There are many different types of layouts to a content page.
Every fashion magazine has there own style.
It also depends on the genre if it’s a gossip girl magazine then they
usually attach pictures with the content list to make it look more girly.
EXAMPLE:
• In this layout they have written the
main article’s page number in
bold numbers.
• Pictures are also used to enhance
there effect otherwise text will
look really simple.
• The contents other then main
ones are written in a simple list.
The content list is simple in
this example.
The main article in this
magazine is the interview of
beyonce so her picture is
attached with the page number.
This content page is very
simple. No pictures are
used ,only page numbers
are written in bold.
• The headings are written in
red bold letters. And the
page number size is also
bigger then the font size.
• A picture is included to
keep interest of people.
• The word “passion” is also
written in big letters to
highlight it.
I have explained 4 types of magazine covers and 4
types of content page layouts. All of these examples
were under the genre “fashion” but every layout was
different from other.
