Blog Post #16: The History of Fashion Magazines.

-
And we're back!



Hey guys, today I'll be researching about the history of magazines. Whether it's a tattoo magazine, fashion magazine, rap magazine or even a cooking magazine, it'll always appeal to a specific audience. With that being said, I decided to base my magazine off of fashion magazines. Fashion has been around for centuries & has been innovative throughout history. In 1867, Harper's Bazaar became the first fashion magazine to debut & it included everything from casual to couture. This paved the way for other successful establishments such as 'Vogue', 'Essence', 'Elle' & many more. These magazines are important due to its contribution to the fashion industry. It keeps society up to date with the current trends that are occurring in the world & helps people to decide what style suits them best. What's so amazing about fashion is that, it never goes out of style because it's what you make it.

My magazine follows the basic conventional Rules and Guidelines of a standard magazine, amongst other things it includes a masthead, a tagline, a coverline, a cover image, a barcode, an issue number and date. In order to gain inspiration for my magazine, I followed the example of various fashion magazines that inspired me such as Vogue, Teen Vogue & Essence.       For the cover page conventions, the first thing you notice is the masthead, the masthead is the title of the magazine & it is also in the biggest font with the sole purpose of standing out.
