The music genre for this contents page is R'n'B. The targeted audience for this type of magazine is teenagers aged between 14-19 year olds, especially girls. We know this by the colours used on the magazine for instance pink which are labelled as a 'girly' colour and the type of language used is informal so it's easier for them to understand. For instance, 'Future Club NME Tour' this also suggests that young teenagers mainly go on tours to see their favourite groups or singers. This also links back to the targeted audience.

The main image for the contents page is of a teenage boy band this tells us that girls would be attracted and it would grab their attention, wanting to know who this boy band where increasing their popularity. The image relates to the music genre because the way they are portrayed and the way they are dressed. The image framed at the left side and near the top of the contents page, although we can see the image in full as when can see the boys from head to toe, it is not that big this shows us that the other information included on the contents page is more important and relevant. The way the boys are presented in the image also gives us a pop star feel as they are standing in front of tall buildings which suggests that they are working their way up the career ladder to become famous singers, so that people from rich companies would employ them. Also the way they are dressed is all similar as they are wearing black jeans with different coloured shirts, this tells us that they belong together and are part of a group. By them sticking with each other will also increase their popularity in society. Also by wearing these clothes it suggests that they are just like everyone else as many people wear them, especially teenagers so this also links back to the targeted audience. The way that the boys are presetened gives off a 'care free' attitude which teenagers are most likely to have. Also as they are all doing different poses it could suggest their personality. The colours used on the contents page are mainly purple, pink, white and yellow. These are very 'girly' colours and they are also very bright which indicates that the targeted audience are young teenage grils.

The name for this particular page is the contents page, this enables readers to see what the magazine consits of inside to see if they want to read on. The targeted audience for this magazine which is girls is will enable them to see what the new boy band are like and what songs they have made. On the contents page roughly three different typefaces have been used. To show the listings of songs a funky tpyeface has been used to show that the songs are upbeat and lively. However, normal font has been used on the titles for instance, "Club Name Chart", this is to shwo the importanance of the context used. Some writing is also more bolder than other such as, "£2 OFF" this encourages people to buy the magazine. The writing has been placed in the middle and on the sides of the contetns page so there's more room and the image has been placed in the left hand side corner.
