The fact that they all have a similar type of shoes can connotate that even though people dress differently there is something which makes us a similar level. The audience for this magazine are people who enjoy a large range of music and this can be shown by a wide range of different genres on the contents page, by appealing to this audience they have a wider range of people to aim at but they have to compete with lots of other rival magazines who will be aiming at the same audience. The lure on this double page is the star appeal; the black eyed peas are a very well known band and have a wide fan base so they will be noticed from just one image.
