Research: Beauty Magazines in Pakistan

In Pakistan, there are no mainstream magazines solely for the category of beauty and skincare, rather there are magazines that cover a wider range of genres like fashion, entertainment, lifestyle, fitness, alongside beauty.

Diva Magazine, for example, covers categories fashion, beauty, entertainment, lifestyle and travel.

For the marketing of my magazine I have created a marketing kit.

Planning: Codes and Conventions

Application of codes and conventions on the genre. The above magazine follows the conventions of a teen beauty magazine. The model used for the main image is a young girl in a casual dress-up. The subtle make-up and bubbly expressions denote the innocence and youthfulness that teen girls have. The codes and conventions followed in the above magazine are bold, over the top styling, heavy make-up and extravagant props. The models in this genre usually take up looks that no woman would generally wear, so it's not necessarily a representation of women rather a creative portrayal of beauty as art.
