Writing the article

I decided for my article for my music magazines double page spread was going to be an interview, as this would allow the target audience to use the magazines as a source of uses and gratifications and brand loyal. As the interview allows the target audience to find out what an artist they are interested in has been up to and what projects they have been working on recently. It would be brand loyal as the target audience may be fans of the artist and would buy a product or subject they are associated with. This also a use of hegmony as the target audience will see the double page spread advertised on the front cover and will think that it will interest them and they have to buy the magazine.

 

For this article i looked at interviews in Q magazine, they often have an interview with a music artist included in their magazine as a double page spread. I followed the description of the artist looks and set the scene of when the interview was taking place. I also seperated the speech between the interviewer and the artist, to make it clear who is who to the target audience. When creating the double page spread i will try and make the layout and design based on the in Q as it very clear, makes the text easy to read and the style and mode of address sticks to the magazines housetyle and has the necerssary conventions.
