The audience of this magazine is indie/ rock fans, you can tell this by the use of the colours the dark colours, the black and the red and the use of the white text upon a black background. The font used is also a grunge font which is showing the genre of music that the magazine is about.
Representation
The front cover has a picture of a midshot Chester Beninngton, who is the front man Linkin Park. This show the reader that there is a 'Exclusive interview' enticing someone to buy the magazine as he is a well known singer in a very well known band.
Layout (Consider Shot) types
The magazine has a bright bubble around the text over 1000 gigs, which emphasises it and makes it stand out so that the readers know that there is probably a gig that they can go to. To get potential readers to buy the magazine there is a bright yellow text saying WIN in capitals which stands out. The page is very busy with lots of text which makes it appear that the magazine has lots articles which the reader may wish to read so they may feel they may get their moneys worth by buying the magazine.
Genre
Indy/Rock this is shown by the colours used (black, white, red) and the artist as his music is rock/indy. The grunge style font that is used shows this also and the way the page is quite busy, almost like a packed gig.
