Vogue Australia

Vogue is easily the biggest Fashion magazine in existence anybody who's anyone knows of it its the Google of the fashion publication world for all you tech heads out there. I've chosen the Australian edition of Vogue to see how fashion publications are handled down under.

When you first see Vogue your eyes are instantly drawn to the center of the cover where a fantastically captured full body portrait of a model is shown not only is this a great way of balancing a page but it gives a feeling of a confrontation with the image. the logo is placed at the very top of the page in the center but it is hidden behind the main image, the text itself is in superbly well balanced positioning with a combination of both bold type but also an elegant type face is also positioned on the cover a interesting feature is that not only is the type effective the colours used in the typefaces both match and flow with the image to form a cohesive piece of imagery instead of bits and pieces. So once you've passed the cover and you start to flick though the first dozen pages you'll notice an almost limitless amount of 2 page spread advertisements each more unique than the next, Making the magazine feel like a fashion show your constantly bombarded with these glamorous shots of models displaying these fantastic new fashions.
