This document discusses two different styles of interviews used in music magazines. The first is described as more of an informal discussion that quotes the artists and focuses on their upcoming album. This style makes the band seem more relatable. The second interview summarized the artist's lifestyle rather than their music, which the document says is unconventional for a music magazine. It concludes by praising the simple layout of the second interview spread, but notes the content lacked a music focus.

1. The interview used for this Double Page
Spread is more of a discussion with
quotes from the artists dropped in here
and there. This style of interview is quite
effective as it isn’t too direct and is quite
and informal and laid-back style to use. It
works well as this is quite a famous band
of this genre and therefore people
already know quite a bit about them, this
style also makes them seem more normal
as they’re almost having just a
conversation. I like that the interviewee is
just focusing on the album the band is
releasing and not going off the topic of
music which some interviews often do.
The bar at the side is also a good feature
as it links in well with the rest of the
interview because it talks about some
new songs they will be releasing.

2. This double page spread is quite brief and
not very interview-like, apart from the
ending where they use some of the
artist’s quotes. Instead this is more of a
breakdown of his lifestyle and what he
enjoys to do as well as where he lives. I’m
not very keen on this because there is no
relation to music in this article at all,
apart from the fact that he is a member
of a band, which isn’t very conventional
for a music magazine. I’m not going to do
an interview like this because I’m focusing
on my artist’s new album but I may
include some aspects such as being
recognised as famous because it is
somewhat relative. I like the layout of this
double page spread as it is quite
simplistic yet effective due to the colours
and title of the ‘interview’.
