Double Page Spread: Final Copy

This is my final copy of the double page spread for my magazine:

My double page spread represents a happy and conversational characterisation of the music artist in the text, the questions are related to music, as well as other topics such as her love life and future, and link to fashion and her fan base; questions include 'What do you look for in a man?' and 'Would you ever consider producing your own fashion line'. Causing my magazine to seem as though it's upbeat and friendly, which suits the intended, teenage female audience. Language such as 'nations hottest solo artist', 'Indie fashionista' and 'idolised by thousands of teenage girls', are used to advertise the content within the double page spread, and make the text appear more mainstream by talking about the attractive features and popularity of the artist. This cheery vibe is also expressed through the choice of colours, which are mostly vibrant; blue, red, purple and green. This symbolises liveliness and happiness, which is meant to be projected by the double page spread, to make it appealing. The close up image, is also quite vibrant, due to the make up colour choices, this symbolises the models quirky look, but also symbolises the type of artists my magazine values; people with vibrant and quirky personalities who would appeal to a female audience.
Different social groups could easily be attracted to this double page spread; the flowers in the models hair symbolise nature and individuality, the colourful make up also symbolises uniqueness and quirkiness. Whereas the topics discussed in the interview are more feminine (for example would you ever consider producing your own fashion line?'). Girls who were perhaps more fashionable, quirky or offbeat would be attracted to the double page spread because of the image, and they'd be drawn to finding out more on this musician who'd they would perhaps find easily relate able. More feminine girls may be drawn to the double page spread because the topic is quite ranged, but focuses mainly on feminine topics such as the featuring artists love life.
I tried not to conformed to some stereotypes in relation to typical music magazine structure conventions; a lot of music magazines chose layouts with one page of text and the other page dedicated to one or more images for their double page spread. Music magazines also type the date, page number and magazine title as a footer at the bottom of the page, and using the musicians name in the heading, in the same way I did. I conformed to these stereotyped conventions because I wanted the double page spread to be recognised that it'd feature in a music magazine, and didn't look randomly structured and un-organised. But I create my double page spread to look stereotypically feminine, by using only pinks and purples, and having feminine decorations such as love heart shapes, and images of pretty and smiley girls, with model inspired hair and make up. Instead i opted for my model to have a more unique look, which could appeal to a range of girls, including very feminine girls. By using phrases such as 'hottest solo artist' and 'she's idolised', I created the illusion that the artist had a hugely successful career and was popular among a wide audience in the UK. This character profile is stereotypical the characterisation of most music artists who feature in music magazines, as they are usually always mainstream and obviously successful.
