You  can also tell that it is aimed at a younger audience seeing as it has a small amount of text.

- This audience could access this text via the internet which makes it simple for them because most youth have access to some type of internet whether it is a laptop or phone. They could also just buy the magazine which is unlikely.

-  The main person on the magazine is white which is what make up brands usually use for advertisement instead of people of another skin colour
