Research into genre

Fashion magazines seem to represent a certain age as no one above 40 appears on the cover unless they're famous and known as a 'strong' woman, it mostly contains people in their 20s to have them similar to the target age to my audience a theorist called Audrey baisin quotted 'genre makes product making more efficient and more marketable'

When researching into my genre I first of all looked at vogue as it's known as a successful and powerful fashions magazine. I looked at the content, colour palette, and layout used to find out common conventions and make sure I included then in mine and create my own version. The layout is structured and is placed around the image as that is the main focus on the fashion. The contents of the magazine is made clear that contains fashion such as 'fabulous fall fashion' to attract readers

I also looked at elle magazine which also a fashion magazine and I discovered it contained the same common conventions that vogue followed with the structure and layout around the model with the contents including a fashion and a colour palette to make it look professional and link well.

I then looked at a regional magazine for cornwall. It includes a masthead and text splattered around th page with a lot of spacing, all includes one main image of a famous tourist location in cornwall. The main colour palette, it green black and white. It also says 'The green issue' showing what the magazine is mainly about. 

In conclusion I have discovered the main common conventions of a fashion magazine are a fashion shot to fit in with this genre with a medium close up of the subject wearing the on trend colours, I will break conventions slightly by not having a studio shot and using a Cornish location to take these shots I will need a ciliate pallets and good structure to make the subheadings and masthead stand out
