2. Front cover
Mast head in the mast head
there is a love heart. By using a a
love heart instead of using the
word love is showing that they
are trying to relate to the
audience which is younger
children.
The main image
This main image has been
taken by using a medium shot
this is where the image is
from the waist up. The image
is showing that there facial
expressions are showing that
they are shocked and they are
are having fun in this
photoshoot.
Sell lines
By writing “ Tears, tantrums and
total meltdown! ” It is showing
that inside the magazine it has lots
of drama in it and that might make
people want to read it because it
has information like that in it. Also
by writing that it is describing
what children do and this is
shoeing that it is appealing to the
target audience.
Main sell line
By writing “ Saturdays soap opera” it will
make most people want to read on more
because it is about the Saturdays which are
a well known pop girl group. Also by using
alliteration “ Saturdays soap” it will intrigue
people to read more because that will want
to know what it is about.

3. Contents page
Main title ( mast head )
This will be in the biggest fount
size on the page. The magazine
publishers will do this so that the
readers know what the page is
about. For example in the image
the mast head says “we love this …
… ” this then make you want to
read on and find out what they
love
Page numbers
The page numbers are set on a box
on the page so they can be spotted
easier because they are an
important pare of the magazine.
They are important because they tell
you what information is on what
page .
Images
This is not a main image but this
images shows facial expressions.
By having this image on the page it
shows that he is is showing his
innocent side and that he chillness/
Youthful side
Signature
By having a signature at the end of
a it makes they writing feel more
personal to the reader and by
writing a kiss ( x ) at the end of it it
shows that is is more of a innocent
thing and this is appeals to the
target audience

4. Double page spread
Mast head
This is the main bit of
information on the page
because it will tell you
about what the page is
about.
Sell line
By writing “ the wanted lads,
ready, aim, FIRE! ” it reminds
you of how children play if
they have a toy gun or it is
what the tv shows say when
they are playing a game that
involves shooting on
targeting something/
someone
Images
by having images like this were the people
in it are laughing and having a good time
and pulling faces it it showing there child
like side and this represents pop
magazines well because it links to children
( the readers)
by presenting something in
this way with a shape
around it makes it stand
out more and people will
read it because they will be
attracted to it. Also my
putting it in a shape it
makes it more creative for
the magazine publishers
and it will be better for the
younger audience because
they will want to read it
more than a plain lines of
text.

5. How we love pop presents there magazines
1. They all have a mast head or a bold title which give you information
about the page/ magazine
2. They all have a main image which can also help you understand
what in on the page
3. also by researching we love pop it has made me realise that i have
to put my text into shapes or boxes so that it makes my magazine
look more creative and i will put it into shapes so that it will stand
out more and more people will want to read it because it is more
fun to read from boxes or coloured shapes compared to just plain
lines of black and whit text
