Looking at the cover, straight away i would assume this magazine was created for a female audience, more specifically women aged from 18-30. This is because the magazine consists of a large, centered image of female artist and role model 'Beyonce'. The reason this magazine would appeal particularly to women is that many girls aspire to be like Beyonce. The fact that the magazine includes the topic 'getting over your ex' suggests that it is appealing to young adults, as most people over the age of 30 are (stereotypically) married or in a happy, long-term relationship. Also, we notice 'who's watching your kids' in large, capital letters indicating that it is not for young children. The fact that the magazine includes '11 green jobs' and 'does work make you angry' also suggests that this does not appeal to a young register.
What is the text selling?
It appears that this magazine is offering information and advice about relationships and work. It also includes '9 tips for managing your money' which would help sell the magazine as many people are struggling financially due to the economic climate and would probably find this helpful.
What attitude/tone does it have?
I think that the cover of this magazine portrays a very strong positive attitude, this is because it includes advice about 'getting over your ex' which will perhaps help those that have had a relationship breakdown. Also the image of Beyonce comes accross as strong and dominant as her facial expression is very distinct and she is holding up her fist.
What is valued/ believed in?
Obviously saving money is valued strongly as the magazine includes '9 tips for managing your money'. Family also comes accross as an important topic illustrated by the fact that 'whos watching your kids' is in capital letters.
