[edit] Content
The content of Seventeen includes information and advice about fashion and trends, celebrities, beauty – skincare, hair and make-up – and lifestyles. It also has a health section about nutrition and exercise, a sex and body section, and quizzes and horoscopes. The article length is kept deliberately brief, high quality photographs emphasize regular celebrity and clothing themes and it is well supported by advertising keen to reach the big-spending demographic of fourteen- to early-twenty-year-olds. Originally, it was geared towards seventeen year olds, but since then has been trying to hit a wider demographic without toning down the content.
