-Cover star is mainly in the middle, mid close up to see facial expressions-Masthead top left hand corner, Bright colours-Date with the masthead-Price is located in a shape-The main storyline anchors the cover star-A white glow around the cover star(s)-Multiple photos ( Buttons )-Barcode located at the bottom of the cover-No specific colour scheme but bright, random and tacky.-Characters referred by their first name only – playing on audiences knowledge-Caption’s are short and snappy-Coloured tabs right hand side for different days of week – easy to use

Conventions of a typical TV magazine:

‘We love telly’ has 3 cover stars on the cover, which would be ideal to use on my own piece, as it suits the storyline I wish to use, which is typical cheating, therefore needing 3 characters on view on the cover. This type of magazine is trashy, chaotic and busy.

‘TV buzz’ has a character displayed as a plastic doll. Which plays on the audiences knowledge of the programme, and intertextually, how everybody is ‘plastic’. This type of magazine is less chaotic, more simplistic and clean.

Typical storylines:

-Cheating on another's boyfriend/girlfriend-Secret love-Pregnancy-Break up-Found in bed with someone-2 characters pregnant with 1 male

Other soaps to use on the cover:

-Made In Chelsea-Jersey Shore-Geordie Shore-Desperate Scousewives
