What's included in Pop magazines

What's included in Pop magazines
Pop magazines include many different articles about different celebrities, new fashion trends, new makeup etc.

Certain magazines include free posters of celebrities. For example this magazine includes four giant fold-out posters and it clearly says that they are Free!. This magazine is clearly about the celebrity Justin Bieber because there are twelve cute posters of him, an article and the title is 'OMG! His secret hangouts revealed' and another article an the title is 'PHWOAR! exclusive pics & interviews' and there is a little circle that says 'LOVE PREDICTOR! COULD YOU BE MRS B?'. This magazine also includes two cool door hangers that are free. Twelve quizzes and puzzles are included too, so the magazine isn't just information, its fun. 
This is an example of an article from a Pop magazine. It is about two members of the boy band, One Direction and it is about them specifically and their lives. The titles draw people in and get One Direction fans attention. 'I put my girlfriend before my grades' and 'I felt like i didn't fit in', both of these titles would make people wonder about the members of the boy band. 

This is an example of what type of quizzes you can get in Pop magazines. Most quizzes ask you if you have something to do with a celebrity or celebrities. For example this one says, 'Do you have OJD' and OJD is obsessive JONAS disorder. Nearly all Pop magazines include these and puzzles such as word searches. 



Competitions are also included in Pop magazines. They do competitions where you can win items signed by celebrities. For example in one magazine I have looked at you have the opportunity to win a camera signed by Justin Bieber. In some magazines you can also win dates with celebrities or to just meet them. 
You can get OOPS! pages which are usually double page spreads that show the bad side of celebrities, for example they show celebrities looking bad or sweating too much etc. On these pages they also get you as a reader involved because they make it possible for you to write your own quotes that match with the picture they have chosen. There is also an OOPS! page for the readers where they can send in there own embarrasing stories. 

There are advertisements like in every magazines, but in Pop magazines they are usually of makeup, clothes, perfume etc. There are also vouchers for some things for example, 10% off at Claire's Accessories. At the back of some magazines there are advertisements for phone ringtones, games, wallpapers etc and it shows how you can purchase them and get them on your phone. There are sometimes advertisements for new TV programmes for example on Nickelodeon there is a new programme called Victorius. There is an advert that shows that the magazine is particularly for young teenage girls because it's an advert for sanitary towels.
