Topic: Mademoiselle (magazine)


  
  Magazine Cover Lines, introduction
The magazine picture might be seen as telling the readers of Mother's Magazine that they are the foundation, the pillars, the unifying arch, the source and fountain, the life, and the instructor of their families.
Although magazines have traveled far from the all-visual art-poster approach so many magazines took toward their covers in the early part of the 20th century, the poster cover did not die.

When Mademoiselle died a very public death in October, media eulogizers across the nation remembered the magazine with yearning and disdain: They celebrated its illustrious literary legacy, but recalled with bitterness the decade-long identity crisis that preceded the magazine's demise.
New arrival O magazine, with a staggering 14 million readers, was introduced as something of an antidote to classic glossy fare for a female audience.
More plausible is the triumph of "women's" magazines that take their cue from the general interest model of the past, filling their pages with news and fiction, as well as fluff.

 Sorry, Mandi, but you're missing me
Mademoiselle’s real problem is in the way it relates to, and misjudges, the women who should be its readers.
Sure, Norwood’s "magazine makeovers" have all the trappings of change: the design is appropriately lighter or darker, the writing cutesy or subdued, the headlines catchy or earnest.
That Mademoiselle falls so deeply into the traps of the worst women’s magazines is especially ironic given its historical roots as the thinking woman’s magazine.

 Mademoiselle history
These covers document how one magazine began with artistic poster covers, then moved gradually to cover lines, and how the cover lines grew to become an integral part of the magazine's cover design.
No one sample cover from a decade can capture the constant creative experimentation that was going on at a magazine like this, but, taken together, they suggest a path of development.
Mademoiselle was chosen because images were available of its history, and because they reflect the overall trend.

MADEMOISELLE reports that there are more than 30 million single women under 35 living alone in America and while I sure don't know every last one of them, the ones I do know are worried more about eating for the next month than they are about accessorizing.
Claiming to be for a woman's "ME Years," MADEMOISELLE alienates half of its audience by assuming they're in a stable enough position to worry about making more money than their boyfriends.
Rather, MADEMOISELLE writes the article from the point of view of a woman who sees an Anorexic girl at the gym everyday and wonders what to do.

The women who attended were joined by two of their former Mademoiselle editors, and in the Tower Suite with a spacious terrace overlooking blocks of row houses ó which many said hadn't changed at all ó they ate a buffet lunch and chatted politely at first, more animatedly as the day wore on.
As her life ended, her former colleagues from Mademoiselle were starting families of their own, and trying to reconcile those new demands with their earlier dreams of artistic achievement ó long before the women's movement could help them.
The guest editor program started in 1939 and its purpose was twofold: the magazine's advertisers could get valuable feedback from the cream of its market, and the women whose writing and artwork were the best of the best could travel to New York and work on the enormously popular August college issue.

It is a strange magazine because the editors surely don't think much of their readers.
