Page 1: Analysing a music magazine double page spread

The colour’s are very basic and blend very well together, there is little colour which emphasises the article.

The text is a interview of question and answers and is placed on the right hand side of the page and due to the image is based around the popular band ‘The Black Eyed Peas’.

The headline is boxed which makes the font stand out and is easily readable.

The image is partially covered emphasising the text but the image takes over approximately two thirds of the magazine which illustrates the image is commanding. Three quarters worth of the magazine image has been paled in contrast to the other quarter to emphasises the importance of the article is based around WillIAm from the ‘Black Eyed Peas’.

The target audience is aimed at people who are interested in the information/gossip of ‘Black Eyed Peas’.

The layout is spaced out so the text is easily spotted and the key topic, article is easily noted.

The text is written like a story and is placed together so there is no confusion as to if there is more than one article.

The use of colour is effective and well presented; there is little colour which makes the places where it is used pop out of the magazine and focus the audience onto those parts.

The headline ‘Rock or Role Queen?’ is effective as it is a rhetorical question which brings with it intrigue to the audience and keeps them reading as they will want to try to interpret a answer.

The image approximately takes up a third of the page and is not covered but is some of the little colour on the double page spread. This is effective because it gives the magazine some vibrancy.

The target audience is aimed at mainly girls, by the way the model is posed, who are aged approximately 14+.

The layout is placed out like a story with the headline bold, seeking interest and the text underneath with the first letter enlarged and the picture next to it. This is effective as it will set the scene for the audience.

The colour used in the magazine is a contrast to the topic they’re talking about ‘PINK’ the contrast suggests a more masculine theme.

The text is a little confusingly placed as I don’t know where the text ends and another article begins. But the text has highlighted words which make them pop out and interest the audience.

The headline is bold and clearly seen on the double page spread, it stands out and emphasises what the article is about.

The image is placed in the text and disrupts the text which could suggest that the article in it’s self is loud and disruptive. Furthermore, the image adds intrigue as it shows such a famous artist, ‘Pink’.

The target audience is aimed at both genders due to the colour and the topic the double spread is related to.

The pug (competition to win VIP Pink tickets) creates interest to the audience and will make them read the article out of intrigue.
