Teen Vogue is a famous magazine favored by young teen girls. The magazine is primarily used for the latest fashion trends, celebrity gossip, and information on current issues and events. Included in this magazine is an advertisement for Secret Deodorant that provides protection with a wonderful scent.

This ad uses the pathos approach because it emotionally appeals to young females with the use of soft yet bright colors, 2D animation and varied fonts and font colors.
