Mizz
The colour scheme of the double page spread in Mizz is Pink, which could be because the artists name is Pink, so that is the particular theme they have chosen. Additionally, the colours might be based around pink because it’s stereotypically a girl’s magazine, and a lot of the colour schemes throughout the magazine are pink, so pink plays a major role in the spread in order to keep in theme with this. There are various flowers dotted around the page, maintaining the girly approach, whilst all the text is contained in boxes of different shades of pink.
The font on this article varies throughout, with the title written in a bold capital pink font, with the focus on ‘bad girl’ which is highlighted in black. In the main interview part the questions are written in bright pink and the answers in black, aside from the additional ‘quick fire’ interview at the right of the spread. This is written in a bright pink box, so a pink font would be difficult to distinguish against the back ground; instead black and white fonts are used
throughout.
In terms of the images on the article, the main picture is of pink herself, nearly full length and wearing jeans with a tiny red strap top, showing a lot of belly. I think her choice of casual clothing makes her very relatable as an artist, because she seems a lot more normal and regular, like the readers. She is showing a lot of belly, and yet she is not the ideal representation of size zero that many teenagers aspire to in this society. This makes her a good role model for teenage girls, the target audience for this magazine, and promotes her brand image of not perfect, but happy the way she is. This confident persona is then emphasized with a playful smile and a cheeky tug on a tie wrapped around her neck. This could be a portrayal of the tie being
society trying to control her and her body and image. As she laughs at this, she illustrates that the control of her own body and life lies at her own hands, expressing individuality and confidence, which once again promotes her brand image as it sets her apart from others in her genre. There are two additional
smaller images entwined with the text of the interview; one of her and her husband and one of her walking her dog. There is also a very small image of Prince William because he is mentioned in the interview part of the text. The final smallest image is the front of her latest album, accompanied by text advertising her tour, website and album.
The layout on this spread has the title taking up about a third of the first page. The rest of this page is text in two columns, with some questions being broken up by the two smaller images. The second page is taken up primarily by the main full length image of Pink, with a caption written in a large font next to the picture. Also on this page is the advertising of her tour, album and website and an additional ‘quick fire’interview.
