This typical layout for this double page spread is simple and easy to read and easy to look at (one main image, main headline and an article clearly separated from each other) The main image connoted the season that the magazine is set in (how the artist is dressed) The chain that the artist is wearing in the main image exemplifies the “bling culture” that artists of this genre are expected to have. The main image represents the season because he’s wearing light clothing that perhaps wouldn’t be worn in a colder season. The main image represents the artists wealth (exemplified with the chain around his neck)

Target audience: The target audience for this type of magazine would be correspondent to the genre of music this artist creates. Young people. Therefore the typography used isn’t complex or hard to understand because young minds are reading it (mostly teenagers) Also the main image is used to draw their attention or the easily recognisable type of typography would entice them to buy this magazine.

This is a typical double page spread because it has a main image on one half, and the main heading and article on the other. The main image connotes the band’s age range, maybe appealing to a slightly older generation such as old school rock. The way they’re dressed also strengthens their genre, and the tattered background can be used to connote the “retro” feel of music.

Target Audience: The old western look of the main image suggests that the audience may be quite old fashioned and into rock music (the electric guitars that two of them are holding) The right column’s layout sets itself out almost as a newspaper, perhaps inferring that the majority of the magazine’s readership is mature.
