From the style of this magazine we can see that the target audience is aimed at young teens girls with all the picture of the new artist and boy-bands. now that we know who the target audience is we can gather that the magazine is mostly going to be about ''gossip,the cutest boys and the best freebies''
Design
The design of this magazine is very busy which is going back to the target audience to help catch the attention of the small children as they will be attracted by the pretty colors.
Masthead
This magazine masthead gives off an impression that the magazine is going to be about a pop magazine with the stars going around the border which links to the idea of the pop stars. With the pink on white background the founts stands out and the found used is kinda girly which proves that the magazine is aimed at girls rather than boys. to the top left hand corner of the magazine just above the masthead is a pug with the BBC logo so we know how is sponsoring the magazine.just next to this we have a sell line which says ''revealed All-new celebs without makeup'' this again shows us our target audience with the word new and the way they have shorten celebrates to celebs were looking at the younger generation. plus its show us what going to be inside the mag which with this sell line is about gossip.
main image-Cher Lloyd
The main image is of 'her Lloyd' who was 4 in the 2010 'x-factor' finals'. with a median close up she takes up most of the magazine front cover along with a headline which acts as the anchorage text due to the text box its in. its kind of like an upside down triangle, cut into 3 sections; one being black, the second pink and the last section white. ''gasp! has straight-talking CHER lost her swagger?'' embedded with this gossip starter is a quote which I presume should be from Cher herself ''I've got major confidence issues'' with the words ''exclusive'' under it to make people buy the magazine.
Coverlines
There are lots of mini cover lines all of them are gossips story's all about boy bands. most of them however are on the left hand side of the magazine which indicates were in the country this magazine would be sold at as most people from the UK read from left to right. however there is one that is on the right''conor's confessions, come out in the wash!'' this is also embedded with a quote from corner put in a speck bubble ''I've got my smalls in a spin!''
In another corner we have a puff used ''are you ready for summer love? '' this engages the audience by using the word 'you' in a rhetorical question it then transfers you to a page with in the magazine with the '' get help from Alex on p16''
near the top of the mag in the left hand corner there is a bit of a what to buy for summer with the slogan ''seriously clever shopping with A* advice!'' all in capital letters. using a yellow back ground grabs people attention as people associate yellow with a warning sign. the stuff they are promoting are quite cheap so again looking upon the younger people as they don't have much money. also its aimed at girls as boys don't normally go round wearing pink nail varnish.
We have free posters :3 which will attract young girls who like putting posters on there walls.
