Anylsis of a double page spread from we heart pop

1. ANALYSIS OF A DOUBLE
PAGE SPREAD
WE <3 POP

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.
