Teen Vogue magazine was chosen as the basis for the double page spread because it features topics that align with the target audience such as fashion, celebrities, and discussions of serious issues like teen pregnancy. The magazine's style of using pink, red, and black along with its focus on reality television programming makes it well-suited to engage the target audience of females aged 14-19. Articles in Teen Vogue also comment on MTV reality shows about teen pregnancy, matching the subject of the documentary featured in the double page spread.

4. Although, Cosmopolitan had all of these important conventions of a magazine
and the house style plus some of the topics could relate to our target audience,
we didn’t choose to base our double page spread on cosmopolitan. This is
because the common topics featured in this magazine are: sex, relationships,
beauty, fashion and health and so documentaries or any other TV shows are
not commented on. We also chose not to use Cosmopolitan as a basis because
it is stated that the magazine has a “presumed audience of white women”,
therefore, the magazine may be too mature for our target audience of
teenagers aged 14 – 19 years.

6. Although, TV Times had all of these important conventions of a magazine and featured interviews of some TV
shows, we didn’t choose to base our double page spread on TV Times. This is because we felt that the house style
and the type of topics, e.g. nature programmes, featured within the magazine did not suit our target audience.
For example, we would not buy TV Times and so we thought neither would our target audience of 14 – 19 years.
Background Information on TV Times:
TV Times is a television listings magazine published in the United Kingdom by IPC Media, a subsidiary of Time Warner.
TV Times currently publishes broadcast programming listings for all major television channels. Before 1991 it published
listings for ITV and (from 1982) Channel 4 only. Although every ITV region originally had its own version, there are now
four. The magazine was launched in 1955, but became a national magazine only in 1968. Prior to 1968, several of the
regional ITV companies - Westward Television, Scottish Television, Tyne Tees Television, Ulster Television, TWW and
Teledu Cymru (and briefly WWN) - produced their own listings magazines. The Midlands originally had their own
edition of TV Times listing ATV and ABC programmes, but a separate listings magazine in the Midlands called TV World
existed from 1964-68 before TV Times went national. Until television listings were deregulated in 1991 the TV Times
was the only place where complete weekly listings of ITV programmes could be published.

7. It is stated that “It is known for its access to television actors and their
programmes” and “In 2006 it was refreshed for a more modern look, increasing
its emphasis on big star interviews and soaps” meaning that these are the most

10. We chose to base our dps on dps’ from the magazine Teen Vogue because it had all of the important conventions of a
magazine and the house style plus some of the topics could relate to our target audience. Therefore, we decided to base
our dps on teen vogue. This is because the common topics featured in this magazine are: fashion and celebrities and it is
also stated that the magazine “offers information about the latest entertainment and feature stories on current issues
and events”. Therefore, this would suit our target audience as it is current and suited to what they would want to read
about. Furthermore, the presumed audience for this magazine is said to be for “teenage girls” which is also why we chose
to base our dps on this magazine as our target audience is the same and so this magazine style would relate to them.
Background Information on Teen Vogue:
“Teen Vogue magazine began as a version of Vogue magazine for teenage girls. The magazine is published in
a smaller 6¾"x9" format, allowing it a unique cover size and more visibility on the front of a magazine selling
shelf, and some flexibility getting into a digest size slot at checkout stands. The magazine also has an
associated store concept called "The Haute Spot" based at The Westchester shopping center in Westchester,
New York.”

11. It is stated “the magazine follows the basic tenets of
teen magazines, although” [the magazine] “also features
more serious topics such as discussions about teen
pregnancy.” This is another reason we chose to base our
dps on teen vogue as it discussed teen pregnancy which
is the basis of our documentary that will be featured
within our dps. Therefore, this magazine would suit
what we are trying to convey and we now know the
