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.
