Conventions of Radar's double Page Spread


On both of the pages blue is a dominant colour which is obviously to do with the magazine's colourscheme, 'Radar'. On the top one the background is still plain although it's blue rather than the typical, white, black or grey. The background on the other one is white bu the background of the main image is of a bedroom to imply that the article will go into the artist's personal life, 'Need to Know: The Teenagers'.
On both spreads the artists are represented in different ways. On the first one they're being represented as confident and stylish by their pose and costumes whereas in the bottom one the artists are being represented as relaxed and chilled out because of the setting their in, the bedroom, their costumes, informal T-shirts and jeans, and their layed back pose. The text on both only takes up a quarter of the space which is typical of double page spreads and on the bottom one two pictures are used rather than one. The audience of the magazine are probably a younger generation whose into fresh artists and bands. The ideology of the magazine is new music. An item of media language that shows this is the article on the new band, 'Mini Viva'.
