There was an unexpected problem with the colours of my magazine so I have print screened what it was supposed to look and put it into paint. This shows what it is supposed to look like.

Planning and evaluation of the article


This is the first example of an article from a pop music magazine. This article is in the form of an interview and is questioning the Jonas Brothers on the new camp rock film. It uses language such as 'Hello campers' to create a friendly tone and engage the reader into the article. It uses alliteration 'ritzy red' to add interest to the article. As the target audience of Top of the pops magazine is 11-15 years, the vocabulary used is not very complex and is easy to understand. 'We want the girls we date to be our biggest fans' also makes it suitable for the target audience as said in my earlier blog the target audience is mainly female.


This is the second example of an article from top of the pops magazine. It uses alliteration 'Dolls drama' as the main sell to attract the readers eye. It also used play on worlds 'Men utd' to add humour and interest to the article.'Enders go west' is also an example of this because it is usually 'Eastenders' The article contains alot of captions to the images which just basically say what the photo is of.

This is my article I will use in my double page spread. I have chosen to do an interview of a new member of a girlband.

Hot gossip interview with Imogen Wright
Britains top glamour model has a newfound talent in the music industry and is the new member of girlband LIPS.

So, Imogen what inspired you to start singing?
Well ever since I was young I wanted to be a singer. I wanted a change from my modelling career and the two other girls are my best friends so I thought I might aswell go for it. After all, I had nothing to loose as I always had my modelling career to fall back on.

Do you prefer modelling or singing?
Its a tough choice. As I said I've always wanted to be a singer but I also love modelling. I like them both for different reasons. Singing I love being with the girls but modelling is more thrilling and exciting as I never know what my next shoot is going to involve.

What do you and the other LIPS girls get up to when your not rehearsing?
We are typical girls. We go shopping, out clubbing, go to parties, get our hair and nails done. I also spend time with my boyfriend, cook him dinner and pamper him as I don't get to see him as much as I would like due to my work commitments.

Is LIPS planning a tour soon?
Well you'll just have to wait and see. We've just started working on our new album, so we are hoping to have a tour soon. Its all very exciting for us but you never know what is going to happen.
