Assignment Bank 3: Print (Magazine) - Analysing A Two-Page Spread.

In this two page spread, the language that is used is very informal; this shows that the audience is aimed for teenagers. The language used makes the reader feel comfortable and brings a sort of connection with Tulisa. This is an important factor because doing this helps to bring attention to reader, and will make them want to move on. The interview comes across as a conversation between the interviewer and Tulisa. Non standard phrases such as ‘you can’t really’ have been used by Tulisa, which shows that Tulisa can be herself and don’t have to be professional. How is colour used In the two page spread, the colour that is used is very moderate, there’s not as much pink as there is on the front page therefore it doesn’t seem as loud as the front page. The way in which the text has been laid out on the page shows Tulisa’s slightly longer responses, and the questions being asked.  You can clearly see the interviewers questions as they are in bright pink, (this goes with the layout), and Tulisa’s answers as they are underneath the questions. Out of the ‘triple’ page spread, only one page is occupied by an image and the other 2 pages have smaller images and a lot of text. This shows the importance of this interview and why Tulisa was placed on the front cover. The tone that the magazine has used is very informal, it’s calm and relaxed. It allows the reader to connect with the interviewer and Tulisa (the interviewee) because the words used are clearly informal; it shows that the conversation is almost spontaneous because of the way Tulisa responds to the questions. The interviewer clearly gets a lot out of Tulisa so you wouldn’t have to have that much knowledge about Tulisa.

Assignment Bank 3: Print (Magazine) - Analysing the contents page.

On the contents page the information is quite jumbled. The main story in the magazine is placed in the middle of the contents page. This is, like the cover page, about Tulisa Contostavlos and the X Factor, this time she is with her fellow judge Kelly Rowland. You can see clearly that this is the main story as it has the biggest image and the most text, and also the page number is the biggest one on the contents page. The rests of the page numbers are at the bottom left hand side; these also include a little text to tell you what that certain page includes. Also there is some more information about other stories included in the magazine and an image with each one, you able to tell quite clearly that they are also top stories as there page numbers are quite big too. This tells us that the magazine is going to be quite wild & messy and fun, this is because the contents page is very bold. There are promotional features included in the contents page, these are posters. There are 10 posters included somewhere in the magazine.  The logo/name of the magazine is placed at the top right hand corner of the contents page. It’s not very big but you are able to see it easily.
