The above double page spread is taken from the "gossip 2 go" section of a "top of the pops" magazine. There is very little text in this article and the two pages are largely dominated by images of various stars. The article features a lot of colloquial language such as "best mates" and "chippy". They use a lot of non standard english to make the article seem more informal and "fun".

The above article is also taken from the "top of the pops" magazine. Again this double page spread is dominated by images. The article mainly revolves around an interview with the Jonas Brothers and other quotes from other members of the cast of "Camp Rock". The lexis used is simple so all of the target audience will be able to read it and understand. The fonts used for the main bulk of the text is pretty simple and easy to read.

I have decided from looking at these two articles that my double page spread must be dominated by images rather than by text. The text in my double page spread will take the form of an interview with my cover star, "Sabrina". As disney musical films (High school musical, Hannah Montanna, Camp rock) are very popular at the moment amongst my target audience (11-15 year old girls) i am going to base some of my interview around a new musical film she has just finished making, starring Sabrina and Miley Cyrus(the star of the Hannah Montanna films).
