Contents Page from Billboard magazine.
Genre: You can tell this is a pop music magazine due to the artist featured in the picture such as Katy Perry, also there is a chart listing which tells me it is aimed at people interested in music in charts.
Target Audience: I think the target audience for this magazine would 15-18 year old either male or female as there are feature which would be appealing to both genders. I think the magazine has done this well as it is not biased towards one gender.
Layout: The layout of this contents page works well because it clear and it is easy to find what type of articles you are looking for due to the headings.There are also page number which makes articles easy to find. Also the pictures work well as they help stop the page from have too much font. On the contents page important articles are also written in a different colour so they stand out and so the reader can find them easily.The text is written it columns which makes it easier to read.
Representation: In the picture the artist are shown looking laid back and relaxed. there is also a picture of one the artists performing live. The picture also tell the reader there will be an article about them and the picture draws attention to this fact.The artist are wearing mainly casual clothes.
Media Language: In the photo's used on the contents page mid shot is used in most of the pictures,this could be so the reader can see the emotions in the artist's face rather than their whole bodies.
A type of camera angle used is eye level especially on the bigger picture, this allows the reader to connect with the artist as they are on the same level.
