This is a double page spread of the “We Love Pop” magazine featuring Cher Lloyd. I believe the target audience for this article would be females aged 9-14. Over the double page spread, one whole page is just a picture of her and on the other side there is the interview. In the picture she is wearing quite casual but fashionable clothing. She is wearing a blue crop top with monochrome trousers. This makes her more relatable to a wider audience range due to her clothing. Her body language - leant down, hand covering her mouth and legs apart connote that she is having a lot of fun. This is also due to her eyebrows being up and her eyes wide open. Her hand is covering her mouth as she is trying to hold her laugh in. Also the camera that she is holding may connote making memories, which may link into the article and can relate to how she got her career going. The picture uses high key lighting making it seem more bright and clear which is conventional in feature pages. At the top of the page we see a button with “cover story” written inside. This allows the reader to be more aware while flicking through the magazine. At the top of the interview page there is a large quote from the interview which will attract more people to read it, due to giving people an insight to what the interview offers. The quote is split into 2, were the first line is in black and the second is in pink. This is so the reader will pay attention to it and will be more interested in the interview. The colour scheme includes very feminine colours such as various amounts of pink spread across the page. Pink connotes sweetness and charm which may link into Cher Lloyd’s personality. However, the black contrasts that and shows her as quite mature due to black connoting elegance and sophistication. Also due to the white background the text stands out more. Below the quote there is a sub-heading which further on encourages the reader to read the interview as it implies that the audience think they know her but they really don’t. The sub heading uses an ellipsis to keep the reader in suspense and question their knowledge on the star featured.
The interview itself is quite short. This will further on attract the young audiences as they won't have to read a whole long interview. The interview further simplifies itself as the questions are highlighted in pink and the important quotes that she said are highlighted in yellow. At the start of the article the first letter “W” is in bold and serif. It also has a background of a pink rectangle which causes it to be easier to see where the interview starts. It also looks like a motif as it can be seen in the bottom left corner behind the page number and bottom right and top left. This results in the pages looking more put together as it links them. Due to this the feature page looks more appealing. The title of the article links into the picture of the band “Union J” which is featured in this double page spread. They are all holding different flavoured milkshakes of which the colours link to the colours used in the title. The title uses 4 different colours which include pink, green, purple and blue. These colours are all quite bright and they have similar connotations. Pink connotes charm and love. Green connotes peacefulness and harmony. Purple connotes wisdom and independence. Lastly, blue connotes intelligence and confidence. All of these traits may relate to each band member. I believe the target audience for this article is females aged from 10-15. Also below the title there is a cover line. It is written in a way of a recipe, which links into the idea of them being in a kitchen setting. All of the boys are dressed quite casually. This is due to them wearing pastel coloured tops and shirts over it. This may also represent that it is summer. Furthermore, all of their facial expressions represent them as happy which carries on the stereotype of boy bands always being positive and joyful. They are sitting quite lousy around what seems like a table. This represents them as normal teenagers as they are just hanging out together.The interview is quite short. All the questions are highlighted in pink which links to the title and makes the interview easier to understand. Also the band member that answered the question is made bold. This is effective as it is evident who is speaking making it easier for the young audiences. Furthermore, in between the interview there are buttons including some of the quotes the band members have said in the interview. This will give an insight to what the interview was about.
This is a magazine double spread article featuring Justin Bieber. The picture of Justin Bieber takes up the whole side of one of the pages. He is dressed in a black vest with red trousers and trainers. Vests are normally associated with people that go to the gym a lot which may connote that he has been working out lately. Also his clothing matches the colour scheme of the article as it is red and black. There is a transparent chair in the shot which is not as visible. This could have been done to show an illusion of Justin floating to the make picture look cool. This would further in attract the target audience of females aged 10-15 as it would intrigue them. The fact that he is sitting the other way round on the chair may suggest that he is rebellious. The way his is positioned is quite promiscuous. His body is leant back and one of his arms is hanging down showing of his muscles as the other one is holding on to the chair. His facial expression looks quite confident in himself and seductive. This portrays him as mature but still very flirty as he loves the attention he gets from his mainly female fan base. The tattoo on his arm further carries on his “bad boy” image as tattoos are normally associated with negative people such as criminals.The title of the magazine is a quote that gives us an insight of what the interview is about. It will also make fans reading the pages jump to conclusion and become confused as to why girls may give him a headache. The interview itself is quite short, as it is only around ¾ of the page. There is a picture displayed of Justin and his former celebrity girlfriend Selena Gomez. Due to the picture it implies that Justin is taken and therefore doesn’t want the attention of any other girls. This reinforces the main masthead of “Girls give me a headache”. The masthead is written in a serif yet bold font. This may relate to the magazines and his target audience as they are mostly female. The main colour scheme of red and black give the article a more masculine touch. Red connotes danger, strength and power, whereas black connotes mystery, authority and prestige. This may link to Bieber’s personality and his high status in the media industry.
