Coordinating
-Pink is used to suggest the femininity of the magazine.

-Bold and slanted text to suggest a persuasive factor of the visual appearance of the cover and to also add emphasis on what’s being stated.
-Alliteration: ‘Holiday Horrors’- persuasive techniques.
-Rhyming: ‘Passion for fashion’- persuasive technique.

-Lack of small images on the cover
-Taylor Swift covers the whole cover which again suggests she is the main feature of the page.

-’COSMO’ is stated in capital letters to provide a clearer appearance of the title of the magazine than the rest of the text, and ‘girl’ is in a different colour, in low caps, and in a lighter colour: This suggests ‘COSMO’ is an existing magazine for older women, and that this magazine is just a feature for teenage girls.
-The style of font is kept the same throughout the page to illustrate a neat and coordinating effect to maybe to reflect the stereotypical suggestion of the girls good organisation and neatness.
