2)Vogue - bold print, eye is drawn to the name first. Kate- main picture, well known - model like stance/picture
3)It's feminine,light springy pastel colours - fresh, delicate, natural

1. High Fashion.
2. By a skinny funny looking model.
3. If you don't look like this then you are not cool.
4. A code to be adhered to by people who can't think for themselves.
5. They not only can't think for themselves but they can't read either.
6. You don't really notice the background as Kate dominates the picture.
7. The picture is supposed to take you to another place - show you an alternative lifestyle.
8. Picture appeals to young audience - heavily influenced.

2)in a feminine way.
3)sparkles are in

5)No.
6)pink is feminine, the background is important because it softens up whatever she is wearing. pastel colours are for summer.
7)No.
8)18-25's. female.

1)young fashion.
2)proffesionally styled, world renound world class top model.
3)picture suggests it if affordable, and would be suited to a variety of females.
4)the fashion bible as in the holy bible is a book to be revered and set above all else.
5)the larger font draws the eye straight to it and makes the reader appreciate the importance the magazine has given that particular subject.
6) the background is vitally important because it completes the picture as a whole, a poor background that dosen't fit with the main feature would deminish the importance.
7)Yes, very much so, kate moss is a british institution who generally appears down to earth.
8)it would appeal to young teenage girls, to women in their 30's because she is of that age now, and women of that age feel that they could do it to because she is still doing it at that age.

1)femininity with the use of pinks and whites.using a famous face to advertise the newest fashions.
2)most important parts being in a bolder larger font, with additional information in smaller text.
3)girly and chic fashions with feminine colours used.
4)the fashion bible is representing the link between whats hot and not this season and how these fashions should be worn.
5)yes. larger texts draw reader in, with pinky colours attracting women.
6)i think the plain pink background works well and it makes the model stand out more. and with kate moss only wearing white, the colour of text stands out more.
7)yes but more realistic to those of an upper class.
8)those in their 20's-30's

1) Fashion, fame and 1 perspective of beauty.
2) A famous model and key subject headlines - "how to wear white" etc
3) Vogue is about models and not about real women.
4) That fashion is a religion
5) The larger text does stand out and suggests that this is one of the magazine's key articles
6) Not sure what the background is... apart from being very pink! Only really provides a contrast to the model's white outfit, perhaps because one of the articles is about wearing white.
7)? It is a studio photo, staged for the cover
8) Females who like fashion magazines, mostly 20+
