I am researching on two magazines and analysing their layout, these magazines would be inspiring me on the magazine in which I am going to create.

First Magazine- VOGUE-April, 2012:

Here, the overall font is quite bold and visible, and we can see the home style for this magazine is red, black and white.The head text is a red serif font that matches the mid-shot taken of the model's(Jennifer Lopez) appearance on the front cover-she's wearing a really stylish red dress paired with nice accessories that represent wealth and fashion sense, her make up is done to perfection with a red lipstick.The heading is also quite stylish, this font gives a hint that it's a fashion magazine dealing with style.The title speaks for itself, VOGUE- means what's popular,what's conquering the fashion & style world at a point in time, it's fascination, infatuation, passion, a craze, trend taste, what it meets the fancy, enthusiasm...it goes on!

The model seems to be looking directly at the audience from this shot (she has a direct mode of address).The content on the cover page is clearly visible from the background, it talk's about the model/Jennifer Lopez placed on the cover page, lifestyle,getting your body right, having a great skin, a bit on relationships, and as we expect, fashion!!! This represents the readers of this magazine and what the magazine is all about, Fashion, Lifestyle, Beauty, Fitness, Health and Relationships, so it's a pretty conventional magazine as to other fashionably stylish magazines.

Second Magazine-AR[t]-April, 2012:

This is an art magazine that also has an overall bold and visible font, the home style for this magazine is mainly black and white.The head text is a black, simple, but yet interesting text of sans serif font that also matches the close-up shot taken of the model on the front cover-her appearance seems quite simple but yet artistic and appealing to the eye, there's a use of plain/nude colours on the magazine too, so as to create an overall simple but yet classy magazine.

The title is quite simply said, "ART"- a magazine talking about art! The model seems to have a quite strong and focussed face.The content on the cover page is clearly visible from the background, it talk's about the different things that have been going on in school, new inventions and attractions.The magazines draws audiences that are interested in the school and would like to know more on what they have been working on in the

school.
