Analysis of top of the pops magazine double page spread

The double page spread from Top of the pops magazine it is a feature about the Jonas brothers appearing in Camp rock, a Disney channel original movie. Top of the pops target audience is young teens and the Jonas brothers are a popular band with this target audience. The picture on this page is of the Jonas brothers posing with their instruments, the picture takes up half of this double page spread and slightly crosses the centre line which links the two pages together making the two pages look connected. Also the picture is on the right hand side which means that when the magazine is being flicked through they see the picture rather than the writing which will attract the young target audience. The font used is sans serif, this font keeps the page simple and less formal, and the handwritten font is used on this double page spread just like on the front cover of top of the pops I analysed, this makes it less formal and makes the page look more interesting. The colours on this page are bright, eye catching and girly, it uses a colour scheme of mainly pink, red and yellow but also incorporates blue white and black. There is quite a few different colours on this page and the page look busy and crowded however this will attract the magazines target audience of young teens and pre- teens. This main feature of the double page spread is an interview with the band. It is set out in two columns which isn’t the common convention of article which are normally in 3 columns as this makes the page look more aesthetically pleasing. There is a quote in the middle of these two columns which stands out from the rest of the page, this quote has to be punchy and interesting to the target audience so when they are flicking through the magazine they notice it at first glimpse of the double page spread.
