Inspirational Text Deconstructions - Magazines - Glamour


Glamour magazine is another leading print in the fashion journalism field. This layout and house theme definitely has a fun and exciting feel to it, as we can notice from some of the front covers shown in this mood-board. The sell lines on the cover range from fashion articles, celebrity articles, and also articles that are created to help the modern day woman, with advice for all different and various themes, from fashion and beauty, to men problems! The main image can reach out to the target audience (who would range from 20-45), as popular female celebrities will always be featured. The fonts and colors are bold and vibrant and carry style and attitude, to allow readers to give attention to the product and therefore buy it, as it looks appealing to read. The articles also include not only fashion but beauty also, like makeup, perfume, and beauty products, this may be an element that I would want to include into my own work.
When we first look at the masthead, we can agree that it stands out and makes an impact on the page. There is a slight difference from other prints, as from this we can notice that it doesn't look as chic as Vogue or ELLE. Saying this, the magazine is focused on a larger realm and doesn't focus solely on the fashion genre. The sell lines also look and sound quirkier than other prints, which expresses the mood and fun attitude of the magazine. The colour scheme also mirrors this while still making it look presentable and enjoyable for the reader.
