Analysis of a Double Page Spread 2

- The main colours used are red, black and white. These colours could connote excitement and fun. However, in this particular case, I think it connotes more of a rebellious vibe. There are a few different font types used and the headline is big and bold and mostly in capitals in order to stand out. The headline catches the eye of the reader because of this but also because it is different, with some letters lower case and with the block, black background.

- The article seems to be organised but then with the headline just thrown on. This connotes a rebellious feel, while still keeping the article quite simple, so it is easy enough to read and a bit sophisticated. I think, like many music magazines, the language and mode of address off this magazine is very chatty, at the same time as being quite formal.

- There is only one image and this covers the whole of the page on the right and edges a little onto the other page too. This layout connotes an easier read, as it makes the reader think there is less to read, with there being half and half text to image. The image, similarly to the whole article, connotes rebellion and a sense of the term YOLO.

- The audience for this magazine is quite a wide audience of older teenagers and young adults, as Lily Allen is, one, quite popular and, two, she fits into a sub-genre of music that a lot of people listen to. Although Lily Allen is a female artist, I think this article appeals more to males, as it connotes a rebellious feel and the text relates to this. I think the audience would be mainly D and E, as most readers would be students.
