Cosmo girl is the teenage spin off of the cosmopolitain magazine. The americian magazine is known for having a demograph of young girls aged 13-18. The title, like all cover titles for magzines, is located at the top left corner as its the eye level that the auidence will see first. the title is bold and the "girl" is written in a girly front which symbolises the purpose of the magazine. to entertain girls. The yellow and white stands out on the pick background, and the colour theme relates to the colour of the coverline colours. The colours used (yellow,orange and pink) are all girly colours so it appeals to the target auidence. Blake Lively is featured on the front cover of this edition. she sells this magazine as she is a well known amercian actress who features in a TV programme with the smae target auyidence. The editior has asumed the girls who read the magazine are intrested in the Tv programme Gossip Girl. The cover story tagline is a statement. this is used as a selling point as it is a direct adress making you want to read on, therefore buying the magazine. The other coverstories include; fashion must haves,boyfriend advice and hair and beauty tips. All in which are the key factors that girls are interested in. or so they asume. The title page creates a busy atmosphere as the titles are packed on giving the buyer plenty of reasons why to buy it.

In comparision, LOOK magaine is a british best seller magazine. however the conventions of the magazine are very much similar. Like Cosmo Girl, Look is a one word title which is rememberable and catchy. The font remains the same as it is noticable to the buyer. The colour of the title relates to the other cover story colours (pink) to stand out. Cheryl Cole 'Britains sweetheart' sells the magaine. The posed picture (like cosmo girl) gives the impression of glamour and fashion. The tagline is one that they asume the teenage girls know all about and as Cheryl is their idol, a reason to buy the magazine. The two other srtips (coverstories) are based on fahion. The use of numbers like the other magaine makes the amount sound bigger than it is, making the magazine sound good for the price.

Teen vogue agian is a younger magazine coming from the original Vogue. you know this by the same font used for the vogue lettering. The font of teen infornt gives it a modern appeal and emphisises the word teen, adressing the target audience directly.Like the others, pink is used as a symbol of girlness and is used for the title and some of the coverlines and taglines. Vanessa Hudgens is even wearing the colour. Vanessa is another americain teenage celebrity who is seen as an icon to many teenage girls. the posed picture and the fact that she is wearing pink gives the idea that she supports the magaine. Like th other magaine covers. the coverstories are located around the page on the outer edge, surrounding the main picture of the celebrity. the coverstories are snappy and in this case bulletpointed so it is quick to read . The content of the stories include fashion, beauty and a competition.They are written in pink or yellow, but the various fonts and sizes appears more exciting other than simple and boring.

Bliss is a modern adjective meaning good, so this is a great title to appear to the young teenage girl age group. the colour being a light pink is seen very girly and even inocent. However this is contradicted with the coverstories. unlike the other positive stories, the front cover features quotes and sotry headlines for 'boob jobs' 'jls naughiest interview' and 'underage drinking.' this gives the impression that teenage girls are rebelious and more intrested in gossip than in more incoent subjects. This appears very negative. Cher (the featurette) is a small celebrity known through the competition of X-Factor. this is asumnption that the girls know her. The posed picture appeals to the girls as it is girly and carfree, howver the pose highlights the tatoos she has on her arms and hands, again i think this shows the magazine in a negative light. With this and the story headlines it shows it is a niche magazine, compared ot the other wider distributed magzine.

Seventeen magaine stnads out as having a diffwerent layout. They, unlike the other magazines alter their layout. the fronts are different for the title and storylines, and so are the colours. even though it isnt continuous, it does appeal and stand out. the mixture of colours gives it a fun appearence whilst the storylines appear intresting to the target auidence. As the others they use makeup, hair and fashion to appeal to the auidence. Lauren conrad (an american socialite) is posed. her hair and over all look is given a carefree look. 






Over all, the magainzes all abide by the conventions you expect a magazine to have for a teenage girl demograph. some factors are different making it more personalisied and some stick to the girly magazine template. The covers all include a young female that is an idol, with cathcing coverstories that make you want to buy it. the content is generally the same, with exeption of Bliss.
