Final Double Page Spread



My double page spread was influenced by many aspects of 'Top of the Pops'. For example, the sentence that introduces the double page spread article in speech marks ("Actually had forgotten what it felt like to just sit infront of the tv with a tub of ice cream!") is similar to the title for the interview included within 'Top of the Pop's' below, and also the idea of celebrities doing normal things (relating to the front cover, the main cover line where it refers to Priya doing "normal things like me and you") This is indicated through the title "I still have to CLEAN my room!", as the celebrity carries out something normal, just like "Priya" within my pop music magazine does. The target audience are likely to be attracted to this as they begin to relate their lifestyle to the lifestyles of their admired artists/celebrities. Priya is located within the centre of the double page spread, and therefore the image goes across both pages; and this is influenced by the double page spread that I analysed from the pop music magazine 'Top of the Pop's', which I have also placed below. The target audience connect both the pages through this; they see the double page spread as connected and therefore are likely to be interested within the full double page spread. There is an introductory paragraph included upon my double page spread, that has been influenced also by the double page spread that I analysed from the pop music magazine 'Top of the Pop's' below. By including this, the audience receive a summary of the content of the article, and it makes them want to read on once they have read it as it highlights the exciting and significant parts of the interview.

"Sam.W" is mentioned within the interview, and this is likely to intrigue the target audience as it incorporates celebrity endorsement within the magazine, and Sam.W has been mentioned previously, which keeps the subject and content connected and with a sense of consistency. The magazine tries to talk to Priya also with a sense of friendliness, in order for the target audience of young females to also feel as though this friendliness is being shared between them and the celebrity "Priya". There is a section segregated from the rest of the article, below the interview with "Priya", and this was partly influenced by the double page spread that I analysed from the pop music magazine 'Top of the Pops' below. This is because, shapes are included as visual tools within the double page spread, and I was influenced also by the front cover that I analysed from the pop music magazine 'Top of the Pop's', as shapes were also included upon this page in order to segregate information, as I have done here.
