For this magazine, you have Miley Cyrus shown as the main celebrity. This is to make younger girls more attracted to the magazine. She is shown to be sitting in a corner of a room to present a sense of dramaticness. Also, the texture and colour of the walls resembles Miley herself and what the article is presenting.

Just like the headline reads 'Girl, you'll be a woman soon'. The way the word 'Girl' is presented stands out more. the font colour is stereotypically pink to indicate a typical, oridinary girl. however, the rest of the title contrast with the word and colour of 'Girl' with making it black and bold. This is to represent Miley now, This mature, sophisticated, grown up person who went from a popular little girl to a grown up woman. You can only see, with the way she is dressed, that she is wearing black, shiny leggings and black, high-heeled ankle boots.

Also, this isn't directed only to Miley as it only shows her and not her name, so this article proves that its for all the teenage girls that are growing up and are going from a girl to woman stage like Miley herself. The article is to the side to show that its not as interesting as the rest of the doouble page spread and that their main focus is on the title of the double page spread, the article and Miley Cyrus.
