DAZED & CONFUSED

Dazed & Confused is a British style magazine,that was set up in 1992 and published monthly. Its founding editors were Jefferson Hack and Rankin. Topics covered include music, fashion, film, art and literature.





Both these covers use models i have already looked at on, the one to the right uses Luke Worrall and to the left Ash Stymest.

I'm inspired by both covers as they are very minimalistic but they still are eye catching maybe because of the choice of photograph and the positioning on the page. Both photos are very suggestive and provocative and the slogan on the one on the right "sex me up" suggests that this magazine could quite easily be for an adult target market which is very wrong & you would work this out when you opened the magazine, i like this as it is very mysterious. I also like the way the masthead is layed out on the front as it is different to other magazine mastheads. The cover lines are fairly basic and minimal also. Unlike other magazines Dazed & Confused uses two colours on the front of their page like black and red or grey and white. I like this as it adds to the minimalistic style of the magazines and breaks 'the rules' which this magazine does alot.
