This music magazine is called 'Smash hits' and is directed specifically towards an audience who are interested in the music genre 'pop'. I can tell the genre of this music magazine is pop due to the bright, contrasting colours (bright pink,light blue, green and yellow). These colours stand out from each other on the page and help attract the target audiences gaze. Also, instead of their being one main image, there are infact two (Pink and Avril Lavigne). By having two pictures of the artists shows that they are competing against each other. The tag line also supports this "Avril V Pink". The layout of the cover is very crowded with sell lines over-lapping the main two images and there are also other smaller images on the page, which draws the audiences gaze around the page and also creates a busy and information packed looking magazine.
