Tracy Beaker magazine

This magazine is aimed at a younger female audience compared to the other magazines. This is made clear by the young girl on the front. There are lots of subtitles and bubble writing over the cover, which helps to show they are aiming at a younger audience. The route of the eye travels over the main headline and down across the subheadings at the bottom. The hot spots are placed on the face of Tracy which will be instantly recognised by the target audience, one on the title, which again would make the the audience recognise what the magazine is and on the subheadings which would attract the target audience to what is inside the magazine. Tracy's pose looks very cheeky and mischievous, again attracting the target audience to find out about her and what's inside the magazine. The illustrated Tracy on the left shows the aim towards a young target audience through the direct speech to the audience, making them feel related to the magazine.

The writing is very bold and bubbly, which appeals to audience and the writing is mainly in capital letters. Phrases such as "FAB" and "WICKED" are examples of this, and this would appeal to the younger audience, making them want to purchase the product. The colours are all kept within the same colours as the heading. This makes it very recognisable for the regular viewers of the programme.
