Magazine Genre Research

FANTASTIC MAN

Their style proves to be very simplistic and plain, but still sleek enough so that their cover can be recognized in any stack of magazines. They have their model posing in an outfit with props so that it gives off a ‘business’ vibe. They have the model and the picture as the entire focus of the magazine with the name of the individual in smaller times new roman looking font at the bottom giving credit to them for posing as the focus of this specific edition. They have the title of their magazine as the next focus in front of the cover photo so that it is easily distinguishable. They don’t use any other captions on the cover which goes along with their very simplistic cover, as they show only the model and the title, because as they have executed so elegantly, sometimes less is more. Throughout the magazine, they focus on fashion all around the world. They consider themselves to be a higher end fashion magazine that deals with more high class proceedings. They show articles throughout the magazine focusing on very high end individuals which include famous fashion designers, architects, actors, entrepreneurs, professional athletes and more. They talk about everyone’s careers and how they got to be where they are, while focusing on their fashion and ways that they present themselves to the public. As they have stories about interesting and nonconventional occurrences worldwide, they also talk about monks found in remote islands, and other unusual stories while also exemplifying the difference in fashion worldwide. They have advertisements including men’s cologne, and different places that would make for good vacations.
