The music genre of this contents page is R'n'B. The target audience for this magazine is girls between the age of 14 to 18, we know this because of the colours used which are girly and also the language is informal so it's understandable for that age groups. For example 'Future Club NME Tour' this also suggests that tours are for young age groups and links back to the target audience. 

The main image of this contents page is of a young boy band therefore would attract attention to young girls and they would want to know who they are. The image relates to the music genre because of the way they are portrayed and the way they are dressed in the image. The image is framed at the top of the the contents page on the left hand side. It is not a very large image therefore this has an effect that the information on the contents page is more important and relevant than the image. In the image the boy band are dressed very casually and are standing in different positions. There are no patricular props used in the image. There are also three other smaller images on the contents page, one is of two women singing, the other is of a female shopping and the last is of a male artist being interviewed.   

 The text has been displaced all over the contents page in diffrent sizes, shapes and colour. There is a varitey of both images and pictures therefore is not boaring and will persuade young female teenagers to read the magazine. Colours used on this contents page are pink, black and white alothough there is a slight use of red and yellow on some parts of the contents page. This contributes and makes the mood of the magazine positive as the conotations of these colours are bright, happy, and attractive. Both the image and colour related to the target audience of teenager, females aged 14 to 18 is due to the way in which they have been layed out and styled on the page. 

The name of this magazine is 'NME' which stands for New Musical Express. This relates to the target audience as 'New' connoates something which is updated and resent which will create a centre of attention to and convince the audience to read the magazine. The writing is clear and read able therefore will reflect on the target audience in a positive way and not put them off from reading it as a whole as the contents page is normally the second page in the magazine. This would also suggets to them that the remaining part of the magazine will be interseting.
