I chose to make my magazines based around fashion because I'm interested in that genre personally. My aims were to be able to make covers which are appealing and may attract 16-21 year olds interested in the latest and modern fashion ; my audience is specifically females. The magazines are intended for women who are rather young, wealthy and successful and know about the fashion and beauty world. I firstly researched around other inspirational fashion brands which gave me a few ideas for example what kind of images to include and various ways to present fashion. I also found information about sustainable clothing because that is what my double page spread is about. I was able to use photos which portrayed my genre in my covers and nearly filled the whole page and double page spread in addition, I used alliteration with words linking to fashion to attract attention. I made sure my work wasn't showing childish viewpoints but wasn't too simple and boring to read and admire. I have learnt techniques to catch attention and interest from audiences however I think I still need to improve on editing . My magazine is called “la vie en rose” which translates in French to life in pink which shows the feminine aspect.



 The headings are in bold to make them stand out and the aesthetic of the colours make each cover pleasing and fits the theme. The colours overall used are quite soft meaning the cover line really stands out with a bold white colour. Subheadings were used to tell the audience what they can expect and will read in the magazine. The barcode is quite small because its an irrelevant piece of education for the audience since it only shows the price. In the fall cover both models are looking directly at the audience with a not too serious look to make them feel like they are directly speaking to them and make the vibe not intimidating. Diversity and culture is shown in the magazine as all models and from different places so they represent variation in ethnicities.  The summer magazine has the model facing backwards to intrigue the audience and make them wonder who the famous influencer is and why she is presented. The interview taken is personal and presents something new and unknown to  the audience, this is important because readers are interested in well known peoples lives and they can get to see personality aspects too.The outfits in the fall cover blend with the colour theme used and lightly screams an autumn atmosphere. On the other hand, the summer cover has scenery that very clearly shows summer and tropical aura. Women are represented more dominantly in my magazine than males because that is my focus and aim. I attempted to use some techniques and ways of making my magazine from the analysations I made prior. I believe that I could also improve on adding more persuasion , something that makes the magazines stand out from others and a better colour theme like red could of been used because it attracts more attention.
