Teen Magazines

Our brief was to design a front cover and double page spread to promote Chew Valley Sixth Form to year 11 and year 12 students. To start with I researched other modern teen magazines, such as Bliss, Mizz, Sugar, Seventeen and Cosmo Girl. I created a powerpoint of all the front covers which I could compare and look for similarities to incorporate in my own teen magazine cover;

From these images I determined that there is never more than two people in the front cover shot but mainly always just one. These people are all celebrities that the readers know and can relate too. Also, the teen magazines are less sophisticated than older reader's magazines (as shown in comparison by 'Cosmo Girl' and 'Cosmopolitan',) but are still enough grown-up to catch the attention of teenagers.
