Research and Planning: Pop Magazines Analysis

You can tell this is a pop magazine straight away from the name of the magazine 'We Love Pop'. All over the magazine there is pop artists e.g. Olly Murs, Connor Maynard, Nathan Sykes, One Direction etc. The cover lines are all stories on pop artists. The colours are pink which I think associate with girls and make them attracted to the magazine as I think girls like pop music more than boys. The font is slanted and stands out, showing that pop is some of the most popular music nowadays. Also the boldness of it makes it informal. The image on the front of Olly Murs is all cheesy, like pop music. If it was a rock magazine the colours, writing and images would be completely different.

You can tell this is a pop magazine also from the name of the magazine 'top of the pops' The colours are pink and purple also attracting girls who I think are in to pop music more than boys. The pictures are mostly all pop artists or about stories associated with teenagers interests. The cover storylines are about the pop artists included on the front cover. This is to get people to buy the magazine. Most of the writing is very straight forward and simple, but big to make it easier to read. Cheryl Cole, on the front cover, is all smiley like pop music makes you feel. If it was a rock magazine it would be more serious and all different colours and font.
