My magazine analysis

Masthead

The name "Lustro" means mirror in Polish, a mirror being a beneficial item in the fashion industry. The colour chosen for this helps emphasise the time of release of the magazine. The placement and size will be the same for each magazine but the colour will change to suit the theme and time of year.

Date Line

The date line will also be in the same place in each magazine. 

Feature Article

Both covers have one feature article and this takes up most of the cover.

Central Image

Both covers will have one image, the setting and colour palette linking to the season.

Cover Lines

The main cover line is the feature article, other than that there will always be 3 cover lines with minimal wording to encourage the customer to buy it. 

Color Palette

Each cover uses different colour palettes but they are conventional in using 2 main colours that reinforce the season. This creates cohesive front covers that are usually appealing. 

Barcode

The barcode placement may change depending on the central image used.

Both covers use sans serif font and is the same across all covers, this makes it more direct and easy to read while being classy at the same time. The use of language in both covers is encouraging the readoer to try new things and to become inspired by what the might read inside. Both covers use close ups as their central images to only give a hint of the outfit which will engage the readers.
