All fashion magazines have similar conventions that run throughout all of them they include the following:

• feminine colours - aimed at the target audience of women.
• a female as the main and only picture - suggesting that she is the most important feature of the magazine.
• all women on the front covers are very glamorous - suggesting that women are and deserved to be beautiful at all times which is relatable to the target audience.
• Vary texts around the perimeter of the magazine- including features of the magazines.
• varying sizes of text to represent what is most important in the magazine - larger fonts catch the eye better so are the first things to be read.
• all names of the magazines are large and central - clearly displayed.
• most have some sort of number in quite large and bold font on the cover.
• all have big named celebrities on the front which could lead people to read about the celebrity as well as the fashion content.
