Top 3 Genres Chosen by Me
1. Fashion
2. Entertainment
3. Lifestyle
Reasons Why
1. Fashion –– Fashion is an amazing art form that society doesn’t mean to appreciate fully. However, publishing a fashion magazine is already common. On the good side, I could always focus on a piece of fashion that not many people know of. Fashion magazines are purpose-built media that combine fashion trends, culture, commerce, and even lifestyle into visually driven products.
The conventions of fashion magazines include, but is not limited to: large sized mastheads, contrasting colors (whether on text or fashion), multiple cover lines, feature article, cover image includes a celebrity, and sometimes puffs.
Example:
2. Entertainment –– Without gossip and drama, humans aren't very entertained. Gossip magazines always produce the most due to how people invest themselves in celebrity drama or fictional worlds. Entertainment magazines are considered a form of journalism on popular culture. They demand engaging narratives and eye-catching front covers.
The conventions of entertainment magazines include, but is not limited to: large/medium sized mastheads, cover image has a celebrity or fictional character (as pictured below), feature article, and a couple cover lines.
Example:
3. Lifestyle –– A combination of both fashion and entertainment, a lifestyle magazine can help out any regular people in making decisions such as whether an outfit looks good or if a home is nicely designed. Lifestyle magazines focus on the basic needs and interests of people. They depend on health, travel, food, and even fashion.
The conventions of lifestyle magazines include, but is not limited to: large masthead, puffs/lines, multiple cover lines, cover image of a celebrity, random numbers, and bright colors to draw attention.
