Vogue Magazine

This vogue magazine features the very famous Lady Gaga, although she has a very large fan base, she also has a very large group of people who dislike her for her unique qualities. She is very abstract as the audience can see in the cover picture, her short pink bob is very contravention and can be loved or hated. The pink is also reflected in some of the writing around her on the cover. An example of this is her name “LADY GAGA” This stands out and gives her a unique and vibrant look. The other writing that’s in this electric pink colour is “574 pages” highlighting to the audience that they have got a lot for their money and there is a lot of content inside.

The clothes that Lady Gaga is wearing has a mixture of beiges and creams, it looks like a tunic from the Grecian times which gives her a sophisticated and cultural look. However this is contrasted by the bright pink and purple from her lipstick. This captures the audience’s attention.
