Analysis of double page spread


The two pages are A4 sized each, which allows enough significant space for the contents of each page. The main image on the left hand side takes up most of the page, which only focuses on the singer. This is advantageous as the audience are engaging with the singer effectively, as this is a great close-up of Jessie J it looks like as they took the shot specifically for the magazine. It's a close-up shot which is useful as it links to the masthead itself because it says: 'Superstar Rising'. So the audience therefore are enticed to look at the singers make up and pose. In addition the colour scheme I feel is all linked as the colour of her lipstick is very similar or is the same colour of the masthead and interview questions. This is effective as it all blends in very nicely together making it look more so attractive and 'professional'.

On the top right hand corner it says 'Fun Fearless Female' this basically sums it up in a whole of the pose Jessie J is doing in the left hand side, as it's connoting to the audience and informing the audience about her confidence. And perhaps is tagging the right audience because for example, there are many insecure girls out there who would want inspiration and love Jessie J so reading just three words would encourage them to read the issue. Plus it looks like the font is in Arial and it's in black and is simple which shows it just wants to share the message to the audience. At the top it introduces the singer effectively stating her name in italics bold 'Jessie J' then having a few full stops and saying 'Superstar Rising'. This is useful as it's in different font which makes it effective and readable, but not only that it also stands out which is a key element. Having the 'Superstar Rising' in big and bold shows what position the current singer is in now and why it'd interest the audience to read it.

Underneath the masthead it describes Jessie J and her current position not only that, it sums up the magazine so to say synopsis in full. This is in italics which again stands out and attains the audience's attention. The drop down letter starts of with 'S'this font is in italics, which is useful because there proves to be a pattern. As we've already seen some words, sentences are in italics so this connotes continuity which is effective. The interview is in collums this is good as it's not only easier to read it, but looks very professional and real which would attain the audience's clear attention. In between the collums there are also lines which is effective because it builds the pattern more so. At the end of the interview there is a picture this links in with everything because as a rising star she's won an award which shows her hard work. This picture is bordered in white which makes it stand out and is effective.
