This is a typical girl magazine, you can tell this straight away by the use of the colours and the use of the iconic boy band, one direction. The masthead stands out well due to the use of the bright colour pink; the typography used is simplistic but girlie. This is a connotation of what to expect inside the magazine.

There is not one main image which is not typical, however there is use of five images and are all immediately connected to the contents, this is shown as the images have numbers on them. The use of the jewelry and purse shows that the magazine is about more than just music; however the use of two pop stars also shows there is a lot based on this. This immediately suggests that this has been done as a marketing strategy to show that the magazine is jam packed with interesting stories.

The colour scheme used is effective; this is as it meets the needs of the target audience. The bright colours used, yellow and pink stand out and make the page seem ‘fun’, the use of the black typography makes the writing easy to read and the fact that some have been highlighted with the yellow colour shows the they are of more importance than the ones that are not highlighted or that do not have and image.

There is a number of typography used, mostly serif fonts as they are informal and ‘fun’, this is in the masthead and the headers of each type of content, this is used to keep the reader interested in the contents and not get bored of looking at it. The san-serif font used are the actual contents and this is so that they can read the information of what is on each page well and makes it look more professional.
