Sketching: Glamour

  • Taylor Swift is pictured on the cover of Glamour, her long, blonde hair is flowing and she's wearing a cute, black lace cocktail dress. She looks glamourous and classy, the magazine wants people to aspire to be her and pick it up and buy it. The title, Glamour, is written behind her head in flashy, bold, baby blue lettering. This draws the reader in and appeals to woman because of the girlish color. The more appealing headlines are written in bold lettering, this is done to give the reader a quick glimpse of what the magazine is about. These headlines include "Taylor Talks," "25 Cute Hair Ideas," and "The Ultimate Advice for Dressing Your Curves." They all appeal to women and make her want to buy the magazine to find how what Taylor thinks of her ex, or how to look slimmer in a new dress. 
  • The magazine if filled with articles, mostly appealing to women, about fashion, beauty, health, and relationship tips. Most of the advertisements in Glamour are fashion products and cool gadgets that would appeal to young, tech-savvy women. An ad that stands out to me is one for Camel cigarettes. The boarder of the page is hot pink and the rest of the background is black. Centered in the middle is a pink camel with Camel written in a girly font, highlighted in pink, above it.  The advertisers are smart and know most of Glamour readers are women, so appeal to them they make the ad look glamorous with pretty pink accents.
