Examples of different magazines

Here are the examples of magazines in which people in my age (16+) may be interested.

“Teen Vogue” as we can assume from its name, is a magazine aimed at teenagers. The magazine focuses on fashion and celebrities, but also offers information about the latest stories on current issues and events. Because of that, the audience is mostly female.

“Teen Vogue” has been published monthly since March, 2003. It is published in the USA, by Conde Nast Publication.

On the front cover we can see the photograph of Mischa Barton. It is a medium close-up and it has been taken outdoors by a professional photographer. It is a fashion photo, but it is focused on the featured person – Mischa Barton. I think if comparing covers of “Teen Vogue” and “Vogue”, we’d notice that some of the “Vogue” covers may be focused only on fashion and there could be no article straight related to the cover model. While “Teen Vogue” always includes a celebrity on the cover and make the main article based around this celebrity.

The masthead is built of two words: teen and vogue. The word "teen" is orange and is written in a sanserif font. So it looks fresh, young and modern. While the word "vogue' is pink and is written in a serif font, so it is more posh and classy. As well as in the "Vogue", the colours of Teen Vogue masthead change with every issue. They are chosen just to cooperate with the particular cover colour arrangements.

The first thing which draws our attention is model's face.t The masthead, the main headline and the other headlines build up around the face creating the combined piece.

"Top Gear" is an automobile magazine published by BBC Worldwide, and named after the BBC's Top Gear television show. It has been published since 1993. Licensed editions are also published in China. the Czech Republic, Greece, Indonesia, Russia, New Zealand, India, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria and many other countries. The magazine includes information about cars : test drives, new technologies, but there are also interviews with celebrities or columns by Jeremy Clarckson and James May.

In this issue the masthead is orange and it is spread through the all witdth of the magazine. The main hedline is "New Lambo". The colour of masthead change with every issue. The main headline reads "New Lambo" and it's white with broad black edges. The sub-headlines are spread all around the cover and they all relate to the main hadline, so it seems like this issue is focued mostly on Lamborghini cars.

In the middle there is a photo a lamborghini car. The headlines are placed above and below the photo, they all go diagonally. It boosts the feeling of movement, which we may have looking at the photo of the car. The colours of photo are blue, silver and black. It creates the feeling of hi-tech and modern environment.
