Research and Planning: Music mag contents page evaluation

The genre of this magazine is pop. You can tell because of the genre of the bands featured and because the small masthead in the corner says 'we love pop'. The target audience of the magazine is females 16-18 years old. You can tell because of the ages of some of the people featured in the magazine, the colour scheme and the fonts styles (bright colours, bold filled in letters, colours popular with that age range/gender). The models in the center of the contents page are smiling so they are happy and they are wearing fancy, posh dresses so you can tell they are rich. They look very relaxed and natural. They also stand out because one model is wearing all white and the other is wearing all black, this is all contrasts with the models races which are both different. Other than the main article being about both of them, I think they're together on the contents page to show diversity and to make the magazine appeal to a wider range of people. The contents page has a long column made up of one paragraph (a note from the editor), 3 cover stories at the side including 3 images and page numbers (3 of the main magazines articles) and an elongated column at the bottom containing the actual contents (page numbers/details). The main article is featured in the middle of the page to catch the eye, it has a very large image, a caption and a large page number. The magazine has roughly 62 pages. The main image is a medium two shot. This is to show that the two models are friends and very close, it also partially shows off their outfits which are important as the magazine has a section on fashion and it shows their wealth/status.
