Research - Similar magazine ideas



Magazines that cater more to a LGBTQ+ audience already exist, such as DIVA and Pride, however I want my magazine to target everyone. DIVA, for example, targets primarily wlw (women loving women), whereas magazines like Hello Mr. target more towards mlm (men loving men). This issue of DIVA is fairly simple, showing a lesbian couple on the cover and adopting a pallet with only 3 colours for the text. 

This cover of pride shows Rege-Jean Page. The magazine generally caters towards a queer audience, so while Page is straight, his gentlemanly image is desirable to most. Pride also includes black issues in their intersectional activism, as seen by ‘the mixed race debate grows darker’ which is great to see represented and included on the front page.  

Magazines such as Attitude also cater more towards gay men, as we can see in this front cover Glow Up special. Their cover focuses more on the main picture than the content, as they don’t want to cover the model. Their colours are also limited to two, matching their brand identity.
