Double page spread analysis (Pop music magazine)

There are allot of conventions on this double page spread such as heading, sub heading, images, pull quote, page numbers, columns and house of style. Double page spreads are usually interviews about the celebrities personal life.

The heading is in white and stroked with purple. Purple is a conventional colour to represent young girls and white connotes fresh and healthy. The font of the heading is big and solid to connote muscly and strong. The heading ''workout'' will appeal to the audience as they would like to know how to keep fit because it's peer pressure for young girls too look good. However this heading is a contrast to the main image as they're not muscly and big,so what could the article be about?

The sub heading mentions ''P.E class'' and a ''sick note from mum'' this instantly represents the young audience who are at high school. The font colour pink also represents young female audience. The white background behind the the sub heading connotes innocence. The rule of thirds (columns) is a conventional way to layout the page, this makes the page look more professional and neat.

The interviewers choice of language like ''boys'' , ''aaww'' and ''girls'' etc represents the audiences dialect to make the readers feel comfortable and interested to the interview. The word ''boys'' connotes young if the interviewer said ''men'' the readers wouldn't like to read on as it wouldn't relate to the young girls and stereotypically ''girls'' and ''men'' isn't a good combination. The names of the interviewees are highlighted in pink to stand out this could also suggest that a girl could only like one or two boys from  this band and would only like to read their responses, therefore the highlight makes it easy for the readers. conventionally pull quotes were also used to connote the importance of their response and to make the page look more appealing and fun. On the third column the sub heading is ''you're gorgeous too!'' the font of the sub heading looks like someones handwriting this connotes that boys wrote their personal message to the young girls to excite them the use of an explanation mark also supports my connotation. Pull quotes are in white font to contrast the oink or purple text box. The purple and pink coloured text boxes make the page look more appealing and feminine.

There are 3 images. One main image in the centre of the page conventionally on a double page spread the article is on the left page and the picture in full size is on the right page. The main image in the centre of the page would attract the readers before they read the article. The boys look relaxed and happy to connote that they're proud of their body. Another small image of Max in between the columns also breaks the conventions of a double page spread because usually there's just a pull quote in a big shape of a circle etc. Last image on the right top corner of the page is similar to the main image it's just that the boys are in a different posture.

Conventionally page numbers are there, this is to make it easy for the readers to find the page quicker. Web address in the pink highlight at the bottom of the page connotes importance. ''exclusive interview'' in the top right corner would make the readers feel happy because this article wouldn't be published anywhere else so this will make the readers feel lucky to read their favourite boy bands article.
