The document summarizes the layout and design techniques used in a magazine article about celebrity Taylor Swift. A large pull quote is used to grab attention about the celebrity and topic. Smaller embedded images break up dense text and make the magazine feel lighter and appeal more to a younger audience. The chosen image of Taylor Swift presents her as approachable and "girl next door" to suit the targeted younger readers.

1. A large colourful pull quote is used to
immediately notify the reader about the
celebrity and the topic of the article. The
controversial quote notifies the reader that
there is gossip, also that this magazine is
where to find the truth. This is a selling
technique because people will want their
celebrity to be presented properly.
The double page spread has kept to the
house style, and the background has
been tiled with multi-colour hearts.
This keeps with the context of the
article and connotes femininity.
The smaller images imbedded in the text break up what could be
perceived as dense text.
They create a more of a light-hearted magazine so it appeals to a younger
audience.
The larger image of Taylor Swift is a sort of girl next-door representation
of her, this is appropriate to the younger audience they are
targeting. Other magazines have much more sexualized images of
their celebrities, which would not suit this style of magazine.
They have chose to have text working in tandem with the image, shaping
her figure which utilises space.
The second pull
quote shows the
reader the
magazine is giving
the celebrity a
voice, which is
unlike most
magazines that just
talk about the
celebrity.
