Teen Magazines

After looking at 5 different teen magazines I have compiled a list of things that help to create an effective magazine cover that is aimed at teenage girls.
  • Girlie colour schemes to appeal to the target audience.
  •  Words like 'exclusive' entice the reader.
  • Popular celebrities feature on the covers to grab teenage girls attention. They are often people that the target audience look up to.
  • Real life stories that the reader can associate with.
  • Short catchy tag lines to give the consumer an incite as to what is inside the magazine.
  • Fashion and beauty stories featured on the cover.
  • Magazine title in a big bold clear font to make it recognisable and readable.
  • Stories about boys and relationships - things that interest teenage girls.
  • Offers and competitions to make the reader think they are getting something extra.
  • Pictures of clothes and jewellery - again, things that girls like and enjoy reading about.
