Match of the Day: the name of a popular BBC TV football programme. Vanity Fair: a famous novel which describes fashionable people and their lifestyles.

COLOUR and IMAGE What colours are used on the cover of your magazine? What message do those colours suggest? Are the colours representative of the season / time of the year? – bright colours for Summer / snow colours for Winter / rich colours for Christmas, etc. How many images are on the cover? Traditionally, the less images, the more “upmarket” the magazine / the more images, the more “downmarket” the magazine.

Bright Spring / Summer colours

Winter colours – silvers and whites

Winter / Christmas – reds and golds

Black and leather – music magazines

Action covers

Traditional sports covers

Car & Bike magazines

Upmarket or Downmarket? – How many images?

First Blog Post Conventions of a Magazine Front Cover Here are some examples of magazine front covers to allow me to investigate the conventions of a magazine front cover. This first example is the front cover of the September 2015 edition of Vogue. Superimposition has been used to allow the cover star, Kate Moss to be the stand out feature of the front cover. As Kate Moss is a very popular model, the magazine will be hoping that she will allow them to sell more magazines. This will appeal to the magazines target audience of young, affluent women.
