Textual analysis: Vogue

 


typography- 
-sans serif typical of mainstream magazines, adheres to the brand identity of vogue with the iconic typography 
-bold 'the fashion issue' to easily establish the purpose of the brand eye-catching to stand out on the shelf 
-referencing to stars- indicates audience will have the cultural competency to know who these people are. 



layout- 
prototypical features with a bold masthead centre top of the page 
subverts with a lack of coverlids but is typical of the editorial style of this cover 

use of language and images-
main image with a direct mode of address to engage with the consumer, it creates a 'bond' 
thin eyebrows connote to the liberation of the 20s and female empowerment 
juxtaposed by fragility and femininity of flowers but suggesting femininity as a sign of strength
bold dark lip- typical of the rich colours- aids the powerful imagery 
high key lighting- typical of the conglomerate of vogue, professionalism
hand placement- adds emphasis to the face and furthers the sense of delicacy 
close up shot- allows for details of the face and flowers but subverts typical presentations of sexualisation.
