Comparing the Conventions of a Double Page Spread

The image still takes up 3/4 of the page except it's set up so that the text is along the bottom and the pictures are along the top. The double page spread is also unusual because it uses two images instead of one. The magazine obviously has an ideology where music and image is important. This is shown by the fact that the interview is with a singer. Also Shakira's clothes and style shows that the magazine wants to look quite glamourous but realistic as the main heading links in with the picture 'Danger! Shakira at Work'. By using an office as the setting for the picture it makes the interview seem more realistic than it would if it was in a studio. The magazine uses colour in the double page spread. It uses pale blue because it's a soothing colour and by using it continually throughout the article it creates continuity. Shakira is being represented as hardworking, by the setting, glamourous, because of her costume, and confident because of her pose where her feet are on the desk. She also is wearing red heels because red is a powerful and intense colour that catches the reader's eye. Red is also used throughout the article creating continuity. The magazine is obviously commercial because it's looking to make money out of selling. The audience would probably be quite young as Shakira is a young artist who are music enthusiasts but who also want to see style, fashion and glamour.

The text on the double page is only 1/4 of the space. 3/4 is the picture. The headline, 'Will He Won't He?' is the same colour as the main artists clothes which creates continuity throughout the page.
The font is black against a white background so that it's easily readable and it's an interview with the band.
Only one image is used and there is a constant colour scheme. The band is being represented as confident in the picture as they're looking directly into the camera. They're also being represented as sophisticated because of the costumes they're wearing.
The ideology of the magazine is style and image. A feature of media language that shows this is the main image were each member of the band is wearing a sophisticated and stylish costume. The audience is probably quite young because Black Eyed Peas aren't a really old band.
