Quick Analysis - Bliss Magazine

Bliss is definitely a publication that has influenced my magazine a lot. However, Bliss focuses solely on stereotypical teenage girls’ interests, and my magazine will include that but additionally so much more information about pop stars and current music.
The Content
The magazine is focused on what a stereotypical teenage girl would be interested in. For example, fashion, beauty, music and relationships with friends and boys. There are also many interviews with cool and current celebrities, usually, ones that teenage girls are likely to aspire to.
Language
The language used is informal, and this makes it more relevant to the target audience. By using language that teenage girls are likely to use, for instance, “OMG, total cringe!” the readership can associate themselves with the magazine and therefore feel as though they can connect with it.
Mode of Address
The tone of the magazine is very familiar; making the reader feel comfortable and therefore more likely to continuously buy it.
Colour Scheme and Font
The colours used are very soft and primary showing the young age of the audience. The font used is very big and bold, attempting to catch the reader’s attention.

Audience

It is obvious that the audience of this magazine is teenage girls, but maybe younger in the teen years, for example, 13-16.

Layout

Pictures are very dominant on every page throughout the magazine. There is little text apart from in interviews. Narrative is broken up into colourful bubbles or blocks, making it easier to see and read.
