This is the draft of my article, I decided to write the article as an interview so that i could make it more interesting for my audience. I started the article by introducing that our magazine managed to get an interview with them and used language to make the audience think that we were the first to talk to them after their split, so that it makes the audience want to read it.I then went on describing what it will be like interviewing the band by saying what the weather is like, which involves the audience and by giving a summary about what will be asked, this gives the reader a chance to decide whether they want to read on or not. This is why it is very important to make this part of the article interesting and appealing to your target audience.
I then started asking t
he interview questions, i asked questions that would be interesting for the target audience and an example of a question i asked is, ' So it's tru
e Kat that you now have your own make up company?' This sort of question reveals a lot and the audience would then know that Kat has a make up company, which also promotes the band members company.
This is my first example of the double page spread i have chosen to analyse. The article is from top of the pops magazine and it is in the form of an interview. I think it works very well for the target audience it is aimed at because
the band is very famous in this age group and by using an interview it let's the audience know what the band are doing and is
also interesting and keeps the audience wanting to read on. They use language that is interesting such as this example from the article:
The language is easy to read and is typical language that the target audience would
Before they start the article they introduce it by deciding what they had to go through to get an interview with this very famous band, this gives the audience an idea of how hard the magazine had to work to give them this information, which makes the audience want to buy the magazine more because they are asking the band questions that the reader has always wanted to know.
In the middle of the article they used a circle shape to write a quote from the article, by doing this it lets the reader has a first glance of what will be said in the rest of the article. Usually the quote will be the most interesting part of the article to draw the reader in more. They used a circle shape to make it look more interesting and to aim it at the target audience. An interview is defiantly the kind of article i would use.
This is my second example of an article of the same target audience as me. This article is from the magazine top of the pops and is in the form of small bits of information on different celebrities. Doing this is a different way of doing an article on a double page spread but by doing this the audience who are young don't get bored or intimidated by big bulks of writing but uses small facts about famous people that the target audience will know well. This will keep their attention.
Again they use language that the audience can relate to which is informal and interesting. Here is an example:
As you can see the language is exciting and makes the reader want to read on.
Lots of different images are used to make the double page spread eye catching and when the reader is flicking through they will notice this page. The images are of celebrities ding some silly stuff which appeals to the target audience as they are young and also of famous people meeting other famous people. Again this is interesting to the audience and makes them want to know about why they are meeting.
I don't think i would use this kind of article because it doesn't give a lot of detail and doesn't focus on anything in particular.
