Throughout my essay, one of the main focuses is the current state of the fashion magazine. I have explored the depths of how it is adapting in the digital age and how it has developed in recent years to do so.
One particular topic really interests me within the writing of my essay. I explored the way in which particular magazines put themselves out there - design wise. I researched into Elle magazine and LOVE magazine and how their design/way they advertise themselves in recent years and how it has changed - due to the effect the digital age has had.
I mainly focused on the front covers of these magazines and compared them to each other and again to their own various versions of the same issues they put out.
The subscription editions of the magazines were a lot more striped back and relied on the photography and iconic master heads, instead of attempting to grab the reader's attention with lists of the content.
I want to analyse these further and grasp the ideology behind the design reasons and what makes a magazine commercial or indie? What each represent, how each present themselves and how that has changed and is changing due to the digital age.
Creating my own fashion magazine is my aim for this practical work. I hope to create covers that express the typically commercial attributes and then, in contrast, a more free/creative/artist approach.
Representing two types of publications that explore different pathways.
