Genre of Magazine: Fashion
Sub Genre of Magazine: Men’s Fashion & Women’s Fashion
2 examples of each sub-genre:
Men’s Fashion - GQ Magazine, Men’s Vogue Magazine
Women’s Fashion - Vogue Magazine, Cosmopolitan
Genre Conventions:
GQ and Men's Vogue appeal to male audiences as stars are always seen wearing fashionable clothing that makes them seem very stylish and good-looking, which may give men ideas on how to improve their wardrobe/look better in general. The color palette used also appears more monochrome instead of using outlying and bright colors. This fits the Male Genre Convention as men are usually more attracted to simple grey-white-black colors instead of vibrant neon's, pinks, yellows, etc.
Vogue and Cosmopolitan appeal to women audiences due to their bright, vibrant color palettes, for example bright pink, which tends to attract female readers. Using popular stars like K-pop idols also boost readership as women may want to see what their favorite singers and actors are wearing to try and copy their wardrobe and dress better.
