Time and Vogue magazine comparison

Here I have picked two popular magazines that contrast with each other. Vogue is a magazine aimed at women, its ideology is to appeal to women of about 25 and over and the magazine includes fashion tips and pictures of famous celebrity women- showing their different clothing. The title uses quite a sophisticated font in the colour pink, which is associated with women. The colour scheme consists mainly of pink and white which are represented as quite feminine colours.

Compared to the music magazines, the layout of the information on the page is a lot more orderly and professional. Time magazine is a magazine aimed and marketed towards adults of about 20 and over. It discusses important world issues and politics which probably wouldn’t appeal as greatly to a younger target audience.

The cover layout is quite simple, yet it is effective. The front cover is split into two halves; one half is Obama’s face and the other half is Hillary’s face. The title which is centered at the top of the page included the title of the magazine which is ‘TIME’ and uses a bright red colours that stands out against the rest of the cover.

There is not much information given as to what is included in the issue, and this is because the picture is very strong and gives quite a lot of information away without the need for much text. The only text that is included is across the top of the bottom right of the page. These are the sub-headings which use small white writing that is less noticeable.
