Vogue vs. TeenVogue

Grrrrrr. My space bar key isn't working correctly!

Sorry about that. Anyways I decided to dedicate this article to Vogue, and its younger sister TeenVogue. Today I am going to do a bit of comparing and contrasting of the two mags so I hope you enjoy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like I already said there is going to be some comparing and contrasting and obviously some of it is a no brainer, obviously TeenVogue is going to be for a younger audience than Vogue but let's go deeper.


Just by looking at it you see the difference in size. Vogue is big while TeenVogue is much smaller. And please excuse my friend's *ahem* art work on Justin Bieber's face. He isn't really too fond of Bieber.

Now into the internal features.



Vogue has millions of ads.


Millions and billions of ads. At the beginning you have to flip through forty pages of ads, and I'm not exaggerating. TeenVogue didn't have nearly as many.



I don't like how TeenVogue is similar to Seventeen magazine except with more expensive products. Seriously, if I wanted all this bubblegummy mainstream I could've just went to Seventeen, because I could really care less about what Rihanna is wearing right now. This october issue really isn't that good. The only article that really captured me was the bullying article.


Not to mention the only article that was 100% high fashion were the Most Likely To Succeed photos.


Vogue on the other hand really captured me with their fashion articles. You just have to get past all of those freaking ads.

Vogue has real high fashion stuff in it.Yes, it has celebrities in it but I don't get the feeling "what the celebs are wearing" is being shoved down my throat like I feel when I read TeenVogue.


The contents in TeenVogue are based on some of them in Vogue only it is made for teens. The People Are Talking about section is a lot longer in Vogue than it is in TeenVogue.



Just look at the comparision in the Theater sections. One is like a page long and the other is a stub.

But like Vogue, TeenVogue features MEGA EXPENSIVE STUFF IN IT! TeenVogue and Vogue is more eyecandy than "Ooooh I want that!" But TeenVogue and Vogue give you a trained eye on what to look for. I mean seriously I can't afford a $600 skirt , but I can find something that sort of matches it and sport it.

Overall
Same:
Expensive Items

Difference:
Layout
Size
TeenVogue is very teenager-ish
Vogue's articles are better
TeenVogue is a lot shorter and easier to read

Final Opinion:
Vogue is better.

Please remember these are just my opinions and not a universal fact.
