Nickelodeon magazine

The magazine is aimed at children that watch Nickelodeon programmes. The main image on the cover is a picture of popular Nickelodeon stars. This makes the magazine appeal to everyone that watches the channel, as the magazine is not based upon just one programme. The image is used to show the happiness and the costumes of the characters. 

The route of the eye is used to cover all important parts on the magazine. It starts on the "Nick" in the corner, which is automatically a quality stamp, which would encourage people to buy it. It then goes across the faces and to the corner to "the best of issue", down across the main image and main title and down to the subheadings. This covers all areas of the magazine and across all of the characters, which will make the magazine appeal to the audience. The principle of thirds has the hot spots on the characters, making the main headline in the centre of the magazine which again draws the reader in. 

Colours are very bright and cheerful and not too stereotypical of one sex. The use of orange and green and male and female characters on the front makes it appealing to everybody. The writing is mainly in capitals, which symbolises excitement and energy, with words like "spectacular" make it appeal to the target audience.
