Blog 8 - Planning and Evaluation of Article

Evalution of Article 1 - Top of the Pops magazine








Top of the Pops magazine for this article have used a style of an Interview for the spread, the written article consists of Questions asked by the interviewer and then the answers given by one of the band members. The tone of the article is quiet happy and upbeat with lots of use of Exaggeration! this gives the text a more happy, hiped and upbeat feeling which relates to the genre the magazine specialise in. The text is written in-formally which relates and will attract audiences from around thirteen to seventeen/eighteen. They also use other aspects within the articles like small articles on a different topic but still relates to the main feature which in this case is The Jonas Brothers. this technque benifits both the magazine and the featured artist as it contains subject of a larger capacity on interests and also advertises other parts of the featured artists, in this case "Camp Rock" a movie with Joe Jonas starting in.








Evaluation of Article 2 -Taylor Swift Spread from Mizz Magazine















This article has been writte, styled and based on a similar style to the Top of the Pops magazine. The main article is based upon a given topic or area with Taylor Swift answering them in detail. The article also contains a factial section which is very personal and detailed, this gives the article a sense of uniqueness and speciality. The article also contains a big question where quotations from Taylors answers have been written, this makes the article come across more personal and more "juicy" to the readers. By using this the article has become a lot more interesting to readers as there wanting answers and will want to read on to get all the details. the formality of the article is in-formal as it represents the magazines main focus and target audience, Taylors answers are also written in an upbeat happy and friendly way "You know whats it's like..." gives the reader a sense of understanding and makes them feel included and even special like there feeling are just the same of Celebrities in these magazines. Like the Top of the Pops magazine they also use Exaggeration to make the wording more happy and uplifting.
