2. On this double page spread, the main focus is the big image of Jenna Mcdougal
and the big font which is a rhetorical question which makes the reader feel
engaged. This will attract the reader because Jenna Mcdougal is very popular
which will make the reader want to read more about her. Also, the rhetorical
question which has been used encourages the reader to red on as they want to
know what the magazine is about. The font used is very interesting and funky and
the way the word ‘scared’ is in red makes the page stand out more.
Also, the image of Jenna
Mcdougal is very natural and
casual which appeals to the
audience as they would relate her
to a normal, average person
rather than a celebrity, The tone
of the magazine seems serious as
the topic being discussed is very
serious.
The article is structured into
columns and the important
information/quotes are in a
bigger and bolder font, this
created a stylish appearance
to the magazine.
The white background
is really common as
most of the magazines I
have seen have a
white background on a
double page spread.
This makes the text and
image stand our more
to the reader.
Jenna Mcdougal is following the
stereotype of R&B with her hair dip
dyed in green colour and her
casual clothes connotes she’s
focusing on the music more than
the image
The layout of this double page spread is really in
effect because not many bright colours are used
which will not devastate the reader from reading the
magazine.
There is a yellow box near
the main image which
gives tips to the reader on
how Jenna Mcdougal
tackled the situation. This
makes the reader want to
read on to see if the
magazine contains any
other tips or solutions. So
this means there is
personal identity in this
magazine as it helps a
person to figure out their
own situation.
3. The colours used on this double page spread are pink and black which
suggests that the target audience for this magazine would be females
as well as men as they would pick the magazine up because of the
image of Tulisa as she is very attractive
The word ‘revel’ shows the
media is trying to be a little
noisy which is known as
surveillance. This would attract
the readers as they like reading
gossip about celebrities.
The layout of this double
page spread is in
columns, which is a
typical layout for
magazine articles as all
magazines are structured
in column. It makes it
clear and easy to read by
making the font colour
pink for the questions and
the answers are in black
font, so it separates the
two and doesn’t get
confusing.
As the previous magazine, the background
is white which is really common as most of
the magazines I have seen have a white
background on a double page spread. This
makes the text and image stand our more
to the reader.
The main focus is the title and the big
image of Tulisa. The title is a
inspirational quote by Tulisa and this
can link to personal identity as it will
help people realise how their
mistakes have made them stronger.
Also, the word ‘stronger’ is in pink font
which shows the importance of the
word in this magazine, This will attract
the readers to purchase the
magazine as the image of Tulisa is
beautiful and she has eye contact
towards the reader which will make
them feel engaged. Moreover, Tulisa
is very popular which will make the
reader want to read on.
There are two small images, one
is an image of Tulisa in her band
which shows she had made
some mistakes in her band but
that has only made her
stronger. Also, the other image
is of Tulisa and Jack O’Connell
which is on the top right hand
side. This would attract the
audience as it would be the
second image they see
according to the eye position in
‘Z’ shape. Also, this is part of
gossip which would make the
reader want to carry reading
on.
