The main sell line: the use of bright yellow and pink fonts attracts the target audience, the band’s name is stated in capitals. The hearts appeal to young girls and they are a symbol frequently used by pop magazines.

The barcode: the smallest part of the magazine, yet probably one of the most important. The barcode, issue number and price are essential, for selling copies. The date is an added bonus so regular buyers can keep up with when the magazine is from.

The header: informs the buyer of the company that produce the magazine, and how it directed from BBC. It also includes information about other articles in the magazine.

A boy band featuring on the front cover of a pop magazine is very frequent, as boy bands are appealing to teenage girls. Their facial expressions are quite funny and silly, attracting young girls and creating a friendly image.

The background: the background is red, making the magazine stand out and catch the eye of the reader. Red = love = a symbiosis with the main sell line

There is a clear symbiosis with the language used here – GET ROMANTIC & the fact the cover artists are a boy band who teenage girls will feel romantically attached to
