Top Of The Pops Double Page Spread

The graphology and structure adopted within this peice is evidently more appealing or designed particularly for a demographic of female audiences due to the consistant pink, white and black colour scheme througout and the featuring of a prominant female celebrity; actress Kristin Stewart.

The image of the artisist is the most prominant aspect of the piece to capture the reader's attention and generate a sense of immediacy upon opening the magazine. The careful designing and structuring of the piece ensures that the largest image resides on the right-hand side of the double page spread as the right is where the readers eye instinctively falls as they turn the pages of the magazine.


The magazine asks the featured actress questions concerning her profession to provide insight into the advantageous and disadvantageous aspects within the world of the film industry, for audience of admiration seekers and acheivers who would most probably aspire to be famous. The magazine speaks to the actress in a colloquial and friendly tone to ensure readers are able to feel comfortable with, and confide in the advice from Kristen Stewart which is conveyed by the magazine. Ultimatley, the linguistic tools implemented here by the magazine help to broaden their demographic of audience from admiration seekers and achievers to an audience of security and stability seekers; whom of which are most likely to purchase the magazine for advice and help with situations occuring in their everyday lives.
