Research and Planning - Double Page Spread Analysis

Firstly, the genre of the magazine is pop, I know this because the images of the two people are members of the pop band One Direction so when seeing the images of them the audience will know the genre of the magazine is pop. Also the font used where there are quotes, looks bold, bubbly and is also stands out, and the font type make it seem like it belong to the genre of pop. The choice of colours blue and green, also show how it belongs to a pop music as they bright colours.

The target audience of this magazine would be both boys and girls. This is because, the colours used, blue, green, and grey are more associated towards boys, so it could be that the choice of colours were to make it appeal to boys as well as girls. This will also appeal to girls because, the images are of Zayn Malik and Harry Styles who girls will be attracted to, and girls are more known to like the band
they are from One Direction, so because of the choice of celebrities it will appeal to girls more.

The layout is simple as, one one side of the page there are images and on the other side of the page there is text and the title. The double page spread is symmetrical on both sides, which makes it easier to read, but also separates the two people the page is about, giving each celebrity a page of their own. Also the shot type of the main images are medium long shots so it conveys how, it is also aimed to males, as if it was t be just females be more appropriate to have a close up of the faces.

Furthermore, the main images of the people, they are perceived being welcoming and inviting the reader to read the article as, they are eye level to the reader, so it isn't like they are more superior.
