Images.The publisher has used images to appeal by the audience by making the model of the front cover a very high contrast compared to the background. The clothes on the model stand out by they being very bright colours that stand out in front of the plain white background. A very attractive model is used so women want to Inspire to look like that and it makes women think that if they wear clothes like this they will look as good as the model. The bright colours give a positive aspect to the image and engages the audience to look at more fashion in the magazine. It has one image on the front being the only image which makes it stand out more. So your eyes are dedicated to looking at one image.Vogue uses celebrity endorsement to attract their readers into wanting to read their magazine. The women will see the celebrities as idols in they will want to see what there wearing and read about what they are doing. For example in this vogue issue Anna Hathaway is featured on the cover which attracts Film fans of Anne Hathaway to read the magazine. 4. The same things occurs within the pages of the magazine. The Images are high contrast to stand out to the audience and they are linked with what the text says so we can understand the text visually. A loop is placed on the page which emphasizes the title of the page How to stay in the style loop Visually you can picture the hoop and the different styles around it. This attracts the audience to the image as its bold and colorful. If they see the image first this may make them to read the text around the image. The images are unique and different to make the magazine interesting to the audience and shows that they are a fresh and original magazine. 5. WordsThe words on the front of the cover page stand out and are in a clear bold font which is printed. The words on the page are linked to articles in the magazine which will most attract women to want to read/buy the magazine. The topics on the front appeal to the target audience they use words that appeal to the target audience to for example Show stopping Spring Fashion this is very bold and big which shows that the magazine is a fashion magazine. The Pink writing emphasizes the hair on the model. The celebrity endorsement in this magazine is Lady GaGa this is show in big bold writing and the pink reflects Lady GaGas hair. The main words the the magazine want the target audience to see first are made clearly and boldly so they stand out. 6. The magazine inside also follows the same concepts. The Words in which the magazine want the audience to see first are presented badly and big in a very contrasting colour for example FLASH this is in a very bold font and is in the colour red which is the only red on that page. Your eyes instantly hit the Flash as soon as you look at the page. The words start to get smaller and smaller the more unimportant they are. They text before the article is there to draw the reader to the article. Its in bold writing and is in black to make it stand out against the white background. 7. ColoursThe colour scheme on the cover of this issue of vogue are autumn colours such as dark reds, plums, orange and burgundys. This links with the words of Must-Have Fall looks this attracts the target audience because it shows them what the fall fashion is. Emma Watson is dressed in fall colours which reflects the fall issue. The colours appeal to the audience because they emphasize the fall issue. They are very sophisticated and warm. The colour of The VOGUE is the same kind of colour to Emmas lips. They are bright to attract the target audience. They are feminine colours which show women that these are the kind of colours they could be wearing. The cover reflects the colours in fashion at the time.Inside of the magazine follows the same aspects. The colours are golden and rusty which link with the autumn fall traditional colours. The one image on this page includes the deep plum lipstick linking to the vogue title and a gold jacket with is unique and bright that catches the target audiences eye. 8. FontThe fonts used on the front cover are sans serif fonts, this causes the font to have flicked edges and look very feminine and sophisticated, I also find these fonts to be more a female, as I find these fonts myself appealing which shows that the fonts used are more appealing to their target audience. The magazine also changed the fonts numerous times throughout the front cover, you can see at least 4 different types of font.The font in the magazine itself is sans serif, a typically more feminine font as its tilted and its fancy and it the same font throughout the articles, apart from when the text is introducing the piece of writing or article, this piece is larger and a more clear and straight forward looking font than the smaller more elegant looking font below it. 9. The layout of the front cover shows supermodel stood in the centre of the page this causes the reader to look straight at the supermodel and this makes her centre of attention at first glance.. The text is then places around the image of her, her head is also replacing a letter in the middle of the word VOGUE. Vogue is such a popular magazine that we do not need to see every letter to know what magazine it is and this proposes that. The pose supermodel is doing is also a typical model pose, which is setting out the theme of the issues main article for the reader. The text is placed messily around the image as well, this make the magazine cover look a little relaxed,. This makes it not as formal and more fun and girly to read.Within the magazine, the layout is again messy looking and relaxed. The style is continuously used across this page. Having images in the middle of the text, it breaks up the seeming large amount of text for the reader. The main image of the page is not central, but at the top right hand corner its very bright and a block colour to catch the audiences eye. Most of the text is on the right hand side which shows this is the main body text. The left hand side shows that the text on that side isn't as important as it is mainly pictures with not much text. 10. CaptionsThe captions on the front page of Vogue tells you what this issue of Vogue contains. The captions are in a bold font to catch the readers eye. The is massive competition in this market of fashion magazines so the better the caption draws in more readers into wanting to buy the magazine. The Caption goes with the picture as it tells you who the girl on the front is Kate Moss then just tells you a little bit about what the article is about Beach chick on holiday. The captions demonstrate the vibe for the issue the main caption is Sensational SUMMER this shows that this issue of Vogue is summer orientated.The captions on this page inside Vogue magazine appeal to the audience because they stand out from the pictures. They caption Fierce footwear grand finale is in contrasting colours and is situated on a red background to draw the reader to it. The main captions show what the page is about as the word foot is consistently used this shows that this page is focusing on the foot wear of the celebrities. The pictures which the magazine want to public to find the most appealing have a caption with a red background on so the audience reads this caption before reading the smaller black captions. 11. Anchorage The anchorage shown in the front cover of Vogue is the phrase couture this piece of text gives meaning to the image. The image itself is the model/celebrity Keria Knightley, posing and wearing a very glam outfit which fits to the text underneath fantasy , by adding the text it ensures that the reader knows it is an issue which focuses on fantasy couture rather than more day to day fashion. Without the text the reader doesnt fully know what the image means, so the text gives the image meaning. The headlines are placed around the picture to make the picture centre of attention. Then the text on Keria Knightley mentions coming of age this shows the reader why also she is wearing a very sophisticated dress. To emphasise why she is wearing lipstick the words lipstick is back is located next to her face. This appeals to readers as they will be inspired by a celebrity wearing the lipstick and they will want to copy. The anchorage on this page is the article is about work style for interns. The pictures anchors the text by showing the style in which the text is explaining. The images are complimenting the text by making it less dull to read and to give readers a visual element. The text is situated next to the text and the text explain the kind of style to go for. The pictures are then placed around to show what the text is talking about and showing the audience the look to go for this is appealing to the audience because it shows a style for the audience to hunt for when finding outfits and gives them a vision to copy from. 12.
