The price is very small is included here it s

printed very small, which suggest this isntthe cheapest magazine, this is a high class

magazine, and is only made once a month.

Sales of vogue have only gone down 0.1%

as its a lifestyle magazine , woman want

to have vogue as it shows who you are as

a person if you are seen with vogue,

people assume you are of a higher class

with greater interests.

Adoring Adele is in the same colour as the

Vogue name, suggesting that Adele is the

main focus of the magazine, its also in a

larger font which brings it to our eye.

The Adoring Adele is obviously alliteration

also to help sell the magazine

Vogue is a very well known magazine

everyone sees the font and knows what

the magazine is. The Font is simple and

classy. The name is always written in

the same font at the same size at the

top of the page.

The front cover is a big picture of Adeles face,

shes a very well known, popular likeable

singer. The close up shows he perfect air

brushed skin, with perfect hair and makeup,

something every woman wants. Natural

beauty.

Vogue always uses 2 or 3 colours on the

front cover this is so the magazine

doesnt look to messy and cheap like a

magazine such as pick me up.

The vogue title is very different to other

magazine names as it s not big and bold but

it still stands out. Its simple elegant slim

classic just like the aspiring costumer buying

it.

Amy Childs could be argued that she is

the woman of the moment, shes notwhat youd typically see on the cover of

vogue as shes a reality TV star and could

be argued is a bit dim, by having her

name on the front cover it broadens the

target audience.

The photo of Adele is a close up of her

face, a generic convention of a high

class fashion/beauty magazine, as it

focuses on Adeles natural beauty.

The smaller writing along the sides in

in different font and sizes and all still

in white, this shows its still classy byhaving all the fonts in white, but by

having the writing in different fonts

still catches the eye.

T

HE ENGLISH WOMAN NOW most

readers of vogue are proud to be

English, the higher class English

woman makes you immediately think

of classy woman who have worked to

be where there are today and not just

marry a rich man, by having

inspirational English women in vogue

will inspire English women.

The title Vogue is French, vogue is a

French term meaning in fashion

French is stereotypically considered

of a higher class to be simple, sexy,

elegant and sophisticated. Vogue

having their name in French makes

you think of all these things.

These are all the brands advertised in vogue, you can tell its a high classmagazine not only buy the designers and brands advertised, but the amountthat there are these would all cost a lot of money to advertise. In 2007, it ran2,020 pages of advertising at an average of 16,000 a page.

Vogue history.Vogue was first launched in the states in 1892; the first issue of vogue that came out in Englandwas in 1916 when the war made it impossible to bring in copies from the US, and has been

published ever since, the first editor Elspeth Champcommunal effectively made the magazine the

same as the American version from except from the spelling, when second editor came along

Dorothy Todd she made the magazine a higher standard shifting the focus from fashion to

literature this was when it lost a lot of its audience, when third editor came on the scene Alison

Settle this was when the magazine really took off and became much more popular with a mixture

of literature and fashion, 7 editors later and vogue is selling

Sales of vogue have only gone down 0.1%, which is very surprising as other magazine sales have

plummeted, as everyone can get the information they need of the internet you could argue that

vogue sales havent gone down very much because it is a higher class magazine and you dont get

just gossip you get a high classed well written story, guaranteed.

The picture is plain and

simple of Adele is elegant

and classy, typical vogue

picture focusing on her

beauty and her amazing

features.

The English Women; in

the top corner this is

relevant throughout

the whole magazine.

Adele is typically

English, the way she

talks the way she

looks, very little

people dont like

Adele, she hasnt let

her popularity get to

her head.

The background is very dark and so

is Adele's clothing this makes you

focus on Adele; her faces and

features, brought into focus by the

light hitting her face and the red is

in half shadow.

The text; of a higher

literacy level, there's a

lot of writing

compared to hello,

the vocabulary uses is

of a much higher

standard , using

metaphors, similes

and a lot of details to

the writing on she

half totters, half runs,

in a sparkly black, her

ginger-biscuit cut hair

pinned back in

Beyonc-style

ringlets.

The font is small,

classic and

sophisticated in

Times New Roman

The layout of the

writing is very classic/

formal, more

traditional with some

sentences set back in

the line,

The writing if of a much higher literacy level

compared to a magazine such as hello, using

words and sentences like, frenzied hysteria,

the shrieking mutates into an obedient sing

along, subliminally

The background

is dark and blue,

contrasts

completely to a

magazine such ashello or ok,

which uses

colours like red,

using blue and

being very dark

makes it very

classy.

This photo of Adele makes you

immediately look at her eyes,

although she is a big girl she is

stunning something any English

woman to admire.(linking to

the English woman

The whole double page spread is in black

and white this very simple classy but also

makes us look at Amy Childs in a different

way, shes usually colourful bright very

rarely seen in black and white.

Isnt a normal picture of

Amy,

she's looking away,

Isnt wearing a lot of

make up

Wearing casual

clothes

Hairs still pretty butnot dolled up

Pictures in black and

white, more

sophisticated, unlike

her usual pictures

where shes orange,

and very done up

(Essex girl)

The title of the show shes in is the only way is

Essex- this top says made is Essex, a copy of a

similar show called made in Chelsea this show is

much higher class than the only way is Essex as

Chelsea is higher class, the people in made in

Chelsea are more likely to read vogue, this is anironic twist on getting more readers.

Amy Childs appeals to twoaudiences, the only way

is Essex people who

watch it for real (aspiring

to be her) and people

who watch it in an ironic

say (almost mocking it).

You could argue that

vogue has followed thecrowd getting a wider

audience with doing

piece on Amy Childs, but

the article is very different

theres no gossip simply

the story of a day in the

life of Amy Childs a very

well written typical voguearticle.

Typical vogue article using

sophisticated vocabulary;

equilibrium, interchangeable,

creosoted reincarnation,

nonspecific,

This article is written by a man, Giles Coren his style of

article is very different he doesnt talk about any gossip none

whatsoever, but he talks about the reality of like comparing

an Essex girl to a princess talking about what men really want,

his style of writing is very sexual but not pornographic, the

writing is still detailed like a vogue article, but with a twist soit appeals for other audiences.

The English Woman is the feature

throughout this magazine also featured at

the top of Adele's article, Amy Childs is the

woman of the moment.

simply title The Essex girl: Amy Childs,

alliteration in the subtitle, Titan haired sex

bomb, this sauciest of stereotypes.

Elle history.

The Elle Title is similar to vogue but still is very different to other

magazine names as its not big and bold but it still stands out. Its simple

elegant slim classic just like the aspiring costumer buying it.

The title Elle is French, Elle is

French for She, there slogan I s"Si

elle lit elle lit Elle meaning, If she

reads, she reads Elle

French is stereotypically

considered of a higher class to

be simple, sexy, elegant and

sophisticated. Elle having their

name in French makes you thinkof all these things.

The price is very small is included here

its printed very small, which suggest

this isnt the cheapest magazine, this is

a high class magazine, and is only

made once a month. Sales of Elle

havent decreased very much at all this

is because also like vogue Elle is a

lifestyle magazine, if seen with thismagazine it says something about you

as a person

All of the writing on the front

cover is either white or black,

its in only a few different fonts

but as its all the same colour itstill makes it look simple and

classy

The cover is still using techniques that

a lower class magazine would use to

sell the magazine, like FREE HAIRCUTSPECIAL ISSUE

The background is very simple

and elegant all in one colour

with slight different tones, this

makes you focus on the

foreground as the model iswearing all black

The model on the front cover

is Agyness Deyn, she an

extremely well know model

and actress who has done

shoots for Burberry, Armani,

Vivienne Westwood andmore, these are all high class

designers like such clothes

that the target audience may

buy also making her look

familiar to the buy making the

magazine seem more

appealing.

Elle and Vogue covers are

very similar they are bothhigh fashion magazines, the

Vogue cover I chose is a close

up of Adeles face

conventional also high

fashion, this photo of Ayness

Deyn is a high fashion photo,

shes looking straight at the

camera capturing theaudience but her pose and

look is different, quirky very

high fashion.

These are all the adverts in Elle, Also like Vogue there are a lot, most are highclass designers, also another reason suggesting that this is a higher classmagazine, with purchasers most likely to be from social classes A, B, C1.
