The masthead uses a serif font in deep red which connotes sophistication. The word ‘archive’ also suggests curation and taste rather than trends which shows that the magazine is intellectual as well as stylish. The font aligns with a high-end style, much like vogue. However, to improve this i believe i could alter the colour slightly of the masthead to a deep red to make it more refined and obvious to the reader. And slightly adjusting the letter spacing would improve readability and elegance. The subject of the image is styled in a neutral tone jacket, glasses and subtle accessories. This is something that I would like to keep in my final product due to the downplayed but stylish model making a casual outfit magazine worthy and high end, especially with the use of neutral colours.

Its placement across the top of the page with wide kerning suggests authority and elegance. The tagline ‘the uks no1 fashion magazine’ clearly signals ideological positioning. The person on the cover is photographed candidly in a festival environment as we can see through the tents and casual clothing. This casual authenticity aligns with feminist values or realness and resisting artificial beauty standards. Her pose with hands on her hips also promotes confidence and independence. However, the outdoor camping setting clashes slightly with the high fashion editorial typography which contrast with the style of magazine I am aiming for.  With the use of serif fonts in the headings, I have presented an intellectual approach to my magazine cover which I am aiming for. I successfully have represented multiple feminist celebrities which aligns deeper with feminist cultur...
