By writing “ Tears, tantrums and
total meltdown! ” It is showing

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

By writing “ Saturdays soap opera” it will
make most people want to read on more

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.

This will be in the biggest fount
size on the page. The magazine

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

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

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
