Vogue Contents Page Anaylsis

The contents page of vogue I quite crammed with lots of information having to be put in such a small space as the magazine is very large, but the way it is set out is clever, neat and still looks quirky as its layout is random and in no specific order.

The use of colours is very clear with a white background and black writing with bright red headings that stand out and which split up different sections, making it easier for the reader to choose what they want to look out and doesn’t overpower the reader.

The front cover picture is also on the content page connecting the magazine together dragging readers in at the same time. Some of the writing is in italics which splits up the writing making it easier to read and stand out more.

The picture chosen to be on the page is a very extreme of fashion picture but that is what reader of vogue will want because they want things that are different and new.

Vogue Magazine Analysis

The colour scheme of the magazine is pink which is seen as a very girly and pretty colour. The picture of the girl on the front, Lana Del Rey, has recently become very famous in the music industry and is a huge fashion icon, which is why she has been chosen to be on the front of vogue. She is seen to be a very glamorous, beautiful, princess-like person which fits in the theme of the magazine which very girly and princessy.

The way that Lana is stood is very proud but the way she is looking straight at the camera with her hand by her chin gives her a very mysterious look, making people want to read more about her. Across from her eyes there is a heading saying ‘The fascinating Lana Del Rey’ making the mystery about her more intense.

The masterhead reading ‘VOGUE’ is in the same font and position on the page as it is on all other issues of vogue, and as vogue had been around for a long time it is very iconic, the reason that is stays the same is that because people know what it is, it stands out against everything else.

Sayings such as ‘Treat yourself’ and ‘Essential’ may encourage the reader to purchase the magazine as it makes out that you need the magazine and that you deserve it.
