Research into cover stars

I looked at 'We heart pop' magazine which is one of the most famous pop magazines today, and looked closely at the cover stars they often use. As the target audience is young, teenage girls, the magazine often features powerful, female artists they can relate to or be inspired by. They also use boy bands which would also attract a female audience. This research has influenced me and gave me some ideas as to what type of cover star to feature in my magazine as I want to include someone that readers of a pop magazine would want to see.
