Representation:
The contents page represents the artists as friendly and approachable, but most importantly - young. The reason that they make the artists look this way is so that young teenage girls reading it can relate easier to the artists than they would if they did not look like 'one of them'. If the youngsters did not or could not relate to the magazine models, then it would be less likely for them to read it as it wouldn't appeal as much.
Layout:
The layout is straight-forward and professional; it has the typical three columns which magazine use, and also incorporates images onto the page neatly, ensuring that the images do not cover any writing.
This makes the magazine look professional and therefore I will also incorporate these particular things into my design to make it look good also.
Genre:
It is clear that this magazine is a pop magazine. The reason I know that the genre is pop is because of the sheer layout of the contents page; the text is informal and 'girly'; the colours are all light and bright, signifying that this is an informal magazine; the images are all of popular pop artists; there are fashion accessories on the page; the cover lines/articles are all gossip news related.
Audience:
I think it is clear that the audience of this magazine is females around the age of 11-17. I think this because the magazine has quite a young, fresh design which would attract girls in that age range because of elements like the fashion and gossip used on the contents page to intrigue them (which both of those stereotypically do).
