Music magazine double page research.



The images used is a rural setting outdoor, which immediately shows the youth of this band and there Target audience to be teenagers it also shows a slight amount of the genre of the band which will probably be pop or indie. The image is mainly set on the girl who has been placed closer to the camera in this image which tell us that this article will be about her this is also shown on the right hand side of the page when there has been an imge of the girl again still in the same outfit but in a different pose this time the background has been cut out behind her and there has been a white outline added to give the effect that the image is attached to the writting. Behinnd the girl in the main imge is four other boys which could tell us that they are the band and that the girl is the main singer. All five of the people in the image are all dressed in casual modern clothes whic again shows the youth of the band and aslos there genre. the masthead stands out really well because it is white and it contrast against the background they have us san-serif fond which give the modern young effect and they have used a bold font which also makes it stand out, there is a short line below which is the coverline and it is still in the white font but it is smaller and is also not bold. the article is set in two collums, the have used the black font against the whtie background which has made it easy to read and also ties in to the masthead so it shows a slight amount of a clour scheme towards the end of the articule they have hilighted a drop quote and changed it so the font is whit and the background is black this makes it stand out from the whole articule this has been done so that if someone turns onto the page and reads that quote it will pull them in and make them read the full articule. The page has a page number and also a website this shows that it is a real double page in a magazine.



The image is of the four people out of the iconic and well know band "the black eyed peas" they all stand posing and looking straight into the camera this has been done so matter where you are looking on the page it looks like the images are looking at you. We can see that three of the images are faded into the background and "will-i-am" is not this has been to show that he is the main person and this is what the article is on. There has been a contrast of colour used where the masthead is, the colour is the same colour as the clothing that "will-i-am" is wearing this once again tells us that the article is about him it also makes it look clean and modern. They have only used one column for the writing on the right hand page, this is because most of the image of the four people in on the left hand page but also comes over on to the right hand page slightly. The article is all the same font and all the same size they have gone with black font so that it is easy to read as the background is White they have also used drops quotes this has been done to pull readers in the way they have placed the drop quote is in the middle of the article and what they have done has made the font white and highlighted it in black so that it stands out from the rest this is a good trick as it it makes the reader read this quote first and makes them want to read the article. They have used a page number which gives the effect of a real magazine.
