Flash- ‘The fashion issue’ is pale pink which accentuates the cerise colours seen in the model’s clothing, but also helps it to stand out against the background that is quite dark, although colourful. The word ‘fashion’ is the boldest text in the circle, which signifies that this is the main theme of the content in this particular issue, and leads the reader to think that it is a special/limited edition of the magazine- enticing the reader to purchase it. Also, if the reader has an interest in fashion, then this issue of the magazine will most appeal to them.

Main coverline -‘celldweller’ gives readers an insight of the content that will be in the magazine. It is in yellow which makes it stand out when it is placed over the main image, it also matches the masthead and the other subheadings/sell lines ‘candydrip’ & ‘miss miranda’ on the page.

Main image- Features a mid shot of the model, there has been no use of direct address, however the model is positioned in quite a sultry way which still gives an inviting look. This could relate to Mulvey’s ‘Male Gaze’ theory, which is reiterated by the use of the model’s red lips. This use of the red colour draws the reader to look at the lips, and hints at sexuality. It also co-ordinates with the clothing, and the background print. Blue lighting has been used, to light the model image, which gives an otherworldly/ethereal look to the model. This shows that the magazine focuses on quirky and creative things, and isn’t afraid to look different.

Background- Red and teal Moroccan style wallpaper background- mirrors the same colours worn by the model. It is quite a busy and decorative pattern which stands out to the reader, and is visually stimulating.

Sell-line ‘miss miranda’ most likely relates to the main image of the model, and implies to readers that the main article of the issue will be based on her.

Key anchorage text ‘Doll face’ relates to the main image, it is in a contrasting colour which makes it attention grabbing.

Subheadings are yellow like the masthead on the front cover. The font is also bigger than the text underneath them, which makes them more eye-catching. The subheadings ‘beauty’, ‘lifestyle’, ‘music’ etc., helps to catergorise the information on stories and articles in the magazine into clear sections.

The body text of information on the stories in the magazine is separated into two columns, which makes them clearer to read.

Background- is white which makes the text and main image stand out on the page.

Colour scheme- predominantly uses the colours white, grey, black, and yellow. This is quite a neutral colour scheme, where yellow is the boldest and stands out the most.

Heading- ‘Designer spotlight’ is white, capitalised and placed in a black strip which makes it stand out. It introduces the article, and gives the impression that the main image displays this ‘designer’ and that the interview will be with and about them.

‘Auxiliary FASHION’ is placed next to the heading, meaning the readers eyes will naturally move to it. Th fact that ‘fashion’ is capitalised shows that this article belongs to a particular section that is purely based on fashion; much like how the newspaper has a show biz and entertainment section. It helps to catergorise and give context to the article, so readers who like fashion will know how to easily find this article.

Main body text/article- is in an interview format. So it keeps to the conventional setup of a magazine article, however it is only in one column of text and not multiple which is where it defies convention. It helps to provide a focal point to the article.

Feature images – show the same model, in candid and quirky poses which connotes that she will be fun and unique, and that the article is about her. It also adds more visual interest to the article page.

Colour scheme- predominantly uses black, white, and a beige/grey shades, which is quite a gloomy look, that again relates to the gothic aesthetic and the ‘gloomth’ line., But it introduces an element of sophistication, and ruralness – indicating that the magazine is natural in its style.
