Seventeen Magazine

Jane's pick again =) I'm on a roll!!
I was looking through magazines and I noticed Seventeen Magazine is geared toward younger girls, teenage girls, but I would even argue much younger, like junior high girls.

Look at this cover of Seventeen that features Disney Channel Star Selena Gomez
Notice the bright colors, the pink and the yellow.  Big crazy fonts.  It is for younger girls.  All of the titles for stories are all things girls who are self-conscious would want to know, such as "AMAZING HAIR Every Day" or "Find the Perfect First-Day Outfit for YOUR Style" all these things a middle school girl would want to know, so that she won't be awkward for her first day of school. Selena's outfit, is bright and colorful, a tank top and some fringe vest, very young/childish. A chunky necklace.  Nothing is sophisticated. Easy. And they chose Selena Gomez, most preteens and little girls watch Disney Channel.  It has a younger audience, Selena can relate to younger girls, thus this magazine targets preteens and teens.
