The genre I'm going to work on for my magazine is "Fashion".

Here are some things I searched related to this genre, I learned a lot during this research. Here are some things below that I got to know;

Audience representation to Fashion magazine:

According to the industrial research, in the UK, 2600 magazine are sold every minute which is 3.7 million every day and 946,430 billion each year. The theorist, Robyn Collinson conducted a series of analyses into the Fashion genre. He chose to focus his research on the same person, Kim Kardashian and how each magazine focuses and portrays her.

The first magazine he analysed is Harpers Bazaar, an American fashion and style magazine, founded by Mary Louise Booth in 1867, It is published in 29 countries in 16 different languages. The magazine focuses on and audience of middle and upper case and bold, at the size of 60 and is also in black. This instantly grabs your attention as it is written in a fancy and stylish way.

The second magazine is called Fabulous and it's the free weekly insert from the British Newspaper, the Sun on Sunday. It is the biggest- read Sunday supplement in Britain with an estimated 3 million women reading it every week, 1.3 million women read Fabulous and no other women's weekly. The title of Fabulous, is very feminine, being pink and in italics. The red could be used as a way to promote the magazine as it makes the more neutral colors and images stand out a lot more.

Overall, from his research, He thinks that the Fashion magazines, I think it's a good thing as they do not seem degrading women as they put a positive image in their minds.

Institutions of a fashion magazine:

Harper’s Bazaar is an American women's fashion magazine, first published in 1867. Harper’s Bazaar is published by Hearst and, as a magazine, considers itself to be the style resource for "women who are the first to buy the best, from casual to couture." Aimed at members of the upper-middle and upper classes, Bazaar assembles photographers, artists, designers and writers to deliver a "sophisticated" perspective into the world of fashion, beauty and popular culture on a monthly basis.
