College Magazine Analysis Three

Only one main image is used on the front cover of this teen magazine covering the full page. The magazine has a three part text color scheme using the colors: black, pink and red. The background main image is a mixture of colors including: white, blue and black relating to the text colors. The text stands out because of the definite colors used to emphasize the text especially the masthead. The colors used blend really well together making the magazine attractive and recognizable at the same time. The front cover of this magazine contains conventional features to a teen magazine such as: a masthead, a main image, cover lines, a main cover line, a bar code  a price and a date  that the magazine was published. The main image used is of a female celebrity attracting people to the magazine because of this celebrity feature. It also includes typical teenage cover lines including fashion and fitness. On this front cover of the magazine conventions have been broken as the main cover line usually the boldest and stands out the most of all the cover lines because it relates to the main image used but in this case the main cover line doesn't stand out as well as other cover lines about the latest teenage fashion tips. Teen vogue magazine began as a magazine for teenage girls produced in the USA. The magazine focuses on fashion and celebrities and includes information about entertainment and the latest feature stories on current issues and events. It’s first issue was February to March 2006 and the chief editor is Amy Astley. The magazine follows basic conventions of a teen magazine focusing mainly on teenage girls. As well as informal stories the magazine also covers teenage issues such as sexual health and pregnancy. The audience for this magazine  is teenage girls 16 to 19. The social class status of this magazine would be middle and upper class as the magazine is  more expensive than most teenage magazines and is more luxury such as it has a glossy cover rather than a plain one. I think the minimum age for this magazine is 16 because of the controversial topics covered which may not be suitable for teenage girls as young as 13. The magazine may not appeal to all teenagers for example males or girls that simply aren't interested in celebrities or fashion. The magazine is stereotypical of teenage girls as not all of them are as teen vogue would represent them.
