This is Vogue’s November 2010 issue. Anne Hathaway is the cover girl of this month. Vogue is one the most recognized fashion magazines in the world. This success relates to many reasons, and one is because of its elegant play of word and image.
Different fashion magazine has different style and design in their pages. Every Vogue cover stands out with its classic serif “vogue” fonts, and a strong cover image. It represents the classy and power that women express today. In addition, the color theme for the cover words and image are design in unity.

This page design is not from the November issue; however, the creativity in typography and photography remains in previous issues. The design and layout in the magazines are according to the play of words and images.

Moreover, the fashion documentary published last year, The September Issue, was a success to let fusionists and the society get a closer VIP look at the lives of the fashion industry and the life of Anna WIntour, the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue. This poster above simply has a miniature image of a sunglasses and fashion magazine placed on a white space. The title of the documentary is equal the size of the image. And even smaller, below the film title it states “Anna Wintour and the making of Vogue.” The angled but recognizable Vogue magazine placed below the sunglasses is what sells and affects the whole fashion world. All the little details and icons made this fashion documentary noticeable and popular.
Vogue knows what and how their readers see the relation between words and images, which is why it is placed firmly on top of the fashion industry.
