magazines

Although female readers may feel that as individuals they are not swayed by a magazines content,  we are  subconsciously subject to hundreds of pictures a day from posters to billboards. we would be fools to think we are not  influenced by what we see.

I made this montage of woman’s magazines to show how identical the articles and models are throughout different publications. (Marie Claire, Glamour, Grazia and Woman’s Fitness). These articles create a false sense of sisterhood by telling the audience what they should be wearing and looking like if they want to fit in and be ‘normal’.

Not many women’s magazines break this binary form which helps in their goal of reinforcing the idea of the perfect female gender.
