Vogue is a well known high end fashion and lifestyle magazine. Its best known for its strong influence on fashion and personal appearence.

The front cover of vogue almost always involves a celebrity or model such as Kate Moss on the front cover to attracts its target audience as of those who seek celebrities as role models and aspire for their success and lifestyle. As of this image of Victoria Beckham, a close up shot of her she is looking directly into the audience with a glamorous yet sexy facial expression with her lips slightly parted. Her outstanding jewellery of her bracelet, earring's, and ring symbolises wealth, and upper class which also reflects the type of people being targeted for this magazine who share and wish for an expensive lifestyle.

The target audience for this magazine is for Young women who are extremely interested in the latest fashion trends.It targeted for an age group of over 18 due to it being a magazine for upper class, working women who would be able to afford the lifestyle being portrayed. Her diamond jewlley attracts the upper class who can portray this glamourous and expensvie lifestyle but also yuonger working class may read this magazine as they aspire to have this wealthy lifestyle.Although the younger generation would still read it, if they were extremely interested in fashion and may have career plans to work in this industry. As of Victoria beckham's facial expression and how she dosen't appear to have any clothing on her top half which automatically appeals to the man audience as of her known status of being an attractive, sexy women whos married to one of the most famous footballers around. Vogue was very clever in selecting this image as it broadens the target audience.

Vogue has used very femine and mature colour scheme of white pink and black which suggests an older, more classy target audience. The masthead Vogue is placed along the top of the magazine in a sophisticated femine font which also suggests the magazine for being targeted at either working, or upper class as it creates an elegent and mature feel towards the magazine. On the left corner of the magazine is the price and date of the magazine which are in a small black font which is easily readable but dosent subtract any attention away from the image.

Vogue has a clear simple layout with only a few cover lines down each side. Vogue has used headlines to attract the audience to want to not an insight to the articles in the magazine such as "Painted faces". The font changes in colour, size and font which makes it interesting for the audience to read, also it highlites the more important infromation as they are in a larger brighter font such as "trend update".
At the bottom of the magazine Vogue has used a question such as "whos is your spiritual adress book" , this is very effective as it is directed to the audience and involves them.

A vogue magazine shows all the key conventions of a fashion magazine, the cover lines are mainly is adverts of the latest fashion trends.

From my research I have found, mainly celebrities are selected in fashion magazines to help promote certain products such as clothing. Models that aren't an A list celebrities appear to be either very beautiful or very slim which gives an unnatural idea of what women are expected to look like. Magazine companies such as Grazia and Vogue choose this type of models and celebrities as they know the type of audience they want to consider in their magazine. Fashion magazines can be seen as negative towards yuong girls in society.
