Vogue Comparison

When analyzing the various Vogue issues from August to December, I counted 2 advertisements featuring black and white colorblocking in the August issue, 13 in the September issue, 6 in the October issue, 3 in the November issue, and 5 in the December issue. Part of the reason the September issue has so many more is because it was a significantly larger issue than the rest, containing over 700 ads in total. I think that the change in the number of ads is in response to consumer purchase patterns. If things maybe aren't selling as much as designers would like, they put in more ads to try to change peoples minds. Or if people like something, maybe the designer will put in more ads of that because they want to show people what they like to see. Below are some ads found in issues from August to December.

 I think that the black and white colorblocking was used mostly in advertisements and not in editorials because advertisements appeal more to the mass consumers and editorials are something that is more whimsical and less realistic for average people to imitate.
