Genre research

Post2

In this post i learnt about the aspects in a fashion magazine genre, and the typical conventions that are included in these types of magazines.

I found that both share similar aspects, as both have a 2/ 3 colour scheme which gives it theme. 

also the models are considered very naturally pretty, however in the 'vogue' cover the models eye makeup is a bit darker making her appear edgier and matching the colour scheme of the cover, showing the theme of this months issue. Both layouts are very similar and use similar fonts to create a more sophisticated look. This all represents the genre of fashion magazines because they want to appeal to a more sophisticated and mature younger audience and show that fashion can be trendy but natural and simple.

By looking at the genre conventions on a fashion magazine contents page it helped me consider ideas of different ways to structure the contents page.
