Teen Vogue content page research

 

Large lettering font in bold, thick typography right at the top of the page both the month and year in a  heading both in different fonts. In black for effect as it stands out from the lighter shades. Goes through a thin black line at the top also creating a margin. Same effect at the bottom. Framing the page.

Thin capital lettering underneath the date, much smaller, but in line with the banner down the side of the page, is very simple spelling the word "Fashion".

Vertical "teen vogue" is presented in a baby blue colour, with the original vogue lettering and style with the the teen being bolder and thicker lettering, in lower case. Different from vogue but same colour, similar and difference. Its behind some of the black lettering making it subtle. I like the style of this and could use it in my own content page by just replacing the words with content. This gives an overall softer, relaxing feel to the magazine.

Same blue colour but slightly darker has been used to circle some of the numbers on the content page. This is done in a scribble style like when you circle things you want in a magazine. Making more of a random scruffy style. Like this idea and could use in my own.

Same thin black line at the very side of the page to match the top and bottom linking them together so that there not separate.

The numbers for the content page are in a simple bold style with the emphasis of the circle around them only on some of them. The same bold, simple style is also used for the subtitles for the stories. This makes them easy to read. The stories are also not cramped into one space. I like the fact that that it's not cramped as it's simple but effective. These types of stories as well can be used for my own magazine because its made for a younger audience. Like "Trending" and "The New Normal".

The stories in the magazine are not divided into different sections like the others. But it does feature and tells you which ones are on the front cover of the magazine with a simple box with the words on the cover next to the number. I like this idea so that when people do want to read more on the stories they've briefly seen then they can go straight too them.

This is the only photo on this content page which is unusual as many of them have more then one to make the content page more interesting whilst matching this the stories they've written. 

It still matches with the soft pastel colours of the page with the light beige background. And the white pureness of the white top.

The expression on the models face is happy and playful making the audience smile with her. She has a very relaxed and shy pose with her hands slightly over her face, making the magazine as a whole a lot less serious. The fact that her hair is down and care free as adds to the image with also minimal makeup done representing a more natural, casual, everyday person.

The image is captioned with the words "p.120 Global Citizen" linking nicely with the picture on things that have been going on in the world. Creating an environmental link, making it the biggest issue for the magazine. I like the feel and vibe the picture gives of to the audience as it doesn't feel like it was staged at all. I also like the fact that its a medium shot as it works well for the pose that she's doing. I don't like the fact that the font is the same all through the content page. I would of made the caption not bold and in a different font to break it up a bit. 

At the very bottom of the page in the right hand corner there is a link to their website to expand on their stories even more. It also creates a wider audience as people are now more likely to look on the website first then buy the magazine itself. I like the idea of this  and where the placement is because its in the corner then that is where people are gong to pace their fingers when they want to turn the page over so it could easily catch their eye. But I would definitely make this loads bigger then it is because people are more likely to see it instead of it hiding away and potentially covering it up.

Overall the magazine has a very soft aesthetic to it. Simple text and design keeping with the original Vogue which was aimed at older richer women until now expanding their audience to a younger audience whilst making it less feminine evolving with the times.
