Purpose• The purpose of this monthly magazine is to entertain young teenage girls by giving

them tips, help, advice and many other thing including quizzes, interviews, articles and posters of popular bands.

• The logo for the magazine ‘We Love Pop.’ Connotes that the magazine is about Pop music and that the company love pop music, so young girls will be able to relate.

• We Love Pop also don’t have a strapline on every single front page of theirs but do on this issue, as well as using other language which young teen girls also use, for example: “secret”; “Insanity” and “Scorching summer style” which all make the magazine interesting and full of gossip to share with friends. The strapline of the magazine “DON’T BORE US. GET TO THE CHORUS” is very short and simple yet still effective. There is rhyme with the words ‘us’ and ‘chorus’ which make it seem fun and almost like a pop song because it rhymes. Not only does it sound like a song, the strapline also talks about a song hence the word ‘Chorus’ as in the chorus of a song.

We Love Pop’s Website

• On We Love Pop’s website the publishers have decided against a slogan for their website as well. This could be because there is already so much on the website and people already know how popular the magazine is and what genre it is, so isn’t needed. The heading of the website is very bright and bold, portraying the magazine’s identity and image. There is a lot on the website so looks very busy, but is still clear where everything is and easy to navigate.
