ANALYSIS OF A DOUBLE

PAGE SPREADWE <3 POP

LAYOUT

The interview is presented in 3 columns this

is so it looks organised and professional

but also so its easy for the audience to

read and follow. The interview is set out in

a question and answer format, this has

been done to make it easy to read and

straight to the point; this will appeal to the

target audience. Another thing the

magazine does is highlight key information

on the article this is so it grabs the

audiences attention and gives off the key

facts about the interview to drag you into

reading it.

The images to text

ratio is 50/50 because

one page of the

double spread is

covered with a full

size image and the

other is full of text.

IMAGES

The large image of cheer Lloyd on the right hand side of the double page spread is appealing to teenage girls, as she is a role model to them and she's liked by the girls at this period of time. Her eye contact and smile makes her seem approachable and friendly and make the audience feel involved. This continues the positivity of the magazine. The photo bleeds onto the next page with the white background which connotes freshness and youthfulness. She has got a camera in her hand which suggests the photo is a selfie which connotes youthfulness and amusement; this will appeal to the target audience because girls at that age are always taking selfies therefore they can relate to this. The shot type of the picture of Cher Lloyd is a portrait modelling shot.

LANGUAGE/ MODE OF ADDRESS

The mode of address used is chatty and informal, which relates effectively to the target audience as it makes it fun and easy to read. The content used on the double page spread is fun and light-hearted which reflects the morals of the magazine. The use of quotations shows the magazine is laid back and informal and has a direct mode of address. The language used is slang and very laid back this will appeal to the target audience. The use of Ellipsis shows the language is slang and informal.

TEXT/FONT

Font- all the text is written in San-serif, this is successful for this double page spread as it’s easier to read than a serif font and is more informal. Making the whole article seem relaxed and relatable for readers. The headers are in bold this is to make them stand out and easy to read.

Text- the article starts with a drop cap which connotes that the magazine is professional. Seeming as the target audience for the magazine is teen girls they aren't going to want to read big chunks of text, therefore the amount of text in the article is limited so its still light-hearted and fun to read.

HOUSE STYLE

The house style is very informal and using bright

bubbly colours, this is so the magazine connotes

youthfulness and enjoyment. The constant use of

the colour pink shows that the house style is

consistent throughout the magazine making the

magazine look in keeping and professional.

COLOUR SCHEME

We heart pop has stuck to three colours for its colour scheme, which is common. The black, white and pink all compliment each other and are easy to read against one another. The pink gives the magazine a girly touch because pink connotes girly, youthfulness and enjoyment which would appeal to our target audience. But also they have highlighted part of the text in bright yellow to illustrate certain things the target audience may find particularly interesting, they used yellow because its stands out and is a eye-catching.
