The title of magazine is Femme, which means “female” in French. This magazine targets women ages 18-35. The magazine is an entertainment magazine with a strong emphasis on fashion. I wanted to create a magazine that was informative to women, and one that was also entertaining. I wanted to use fun colors that stood out, but not too much because I did not want the magazine to look as though it was targeted one toward teens. I wanted the magazine to have a fun but sophisticated look which is why I choose black and other dark colors as well as a light pink. I used the same typefaces consistently throughout my magazine, again, to keep with a clean sophisticated look. Nicki Minaj is on the cover of this magazine. The article featuring her discusses how she has transformed from simply being a rapper into an “American Idol.” It is a perfect bound magazine. This magazine is subscription based and releases a new issue monthly, but it is also on newsstands. The competition for this magazine would be magazines such as Cosmo, Elle, Vogue and Glamour.
