Summer fashion magazines.

I have researched various different fashion magazines, both high end and high street fashion, which has gave me more of an understanding on what conventions should be included in a typical fashion magazine. A common trend in the magazines are bright colours, which are are used to attract the audience due to them being so eye-catching. As each magazine I have picked out is designed for the summer season, the bright colours will attract a large target audience as readers will most likely be wearing colours such as bright pink, yellow, white etc when its warmer which are featured throughout the front covers. I have also noticed that the layout of each magazine is quite similar as they all have a mid shot of each model in the centre of each front cover. This looks effective as it is important for the audience to see details on the models outfit, as the magazine is about fashion therefore costumes should be visible to attract an audience. The magazines also include a lot of sell lines, used to entice the reader and to give them some knowledge on what is included in the magazine. It is also important that the masthead is bold and stands out, therefore is commonly placed on the top third of the page.
