The cover lines suggest that this magazine is aimed at women because it includes captions like 'sexy hair' which they could relate to.  Also Miley Cyrus is a pop icon that has many followers between the age range mentioned above.  The way she is dressed is quite revealing and is being sexualised to also invite some men to read the magazine.  Miley is also looking straight into the camera, inviting the audience to read more and discover more about the enigma codes within the cover lines.  These enigma codes also intrigue an audience because they want to read more and find out more about the talked about topics.    The colour pink is used throughout which highlights that this is a feminine magazine and that it is mostly aimed at young women.  The use of pink also makes the magazine stand out even more as it's very vibrant and catches the attention of an audience.  This magazine also talks about fashion and gossip of other celebrities which will mainly attract a younger female audience as they like to keep up to date with the latest fashion styles and celebrity stories.

The cover lines of this magazine suggest its for a woman as it talks about getting 'bogy beautiful' and also refers to helping your child do his best.  This magazine also is very stereotypical as it's called 'good housekeeping' and has a woman on the front, which means that it is going back to a conventional family in which the woman would do the housekeeping and take care of the children while the man would go out and work.  The colours of the cover lines are quire subtle and don't stand out as much as other magazines do that are aimed at a younger audience so this suggests that this magazine is for an older generation.  She isn't being sexualised either as she is wearing normal day to day clothes that aren't revealing anything, again, reinforcing the fact that this a magazine for an older audience.  The clothes are very feminised and the colours of the cover lines are also pink and green, suggesting that this is a magazine that is more aimed at women than men and also because the topics talked about are more relatable to women.
