I am writing about the double page spread in Top of the Pops magazine, on Cheryl Cole. The main picture is of Cheryl Cole on her own, which is a mid shot and she is looking up as if she is either dreaming or looking at the stars. The quote that accompanies this picture is 'I always kept my eye on the dream', suggesting that anybody can reach where she is now, which would inspire young readers, and make them want to read her story.
Stars are used as border, and various other places on the page. This emphasizes that Cheryl is now a huge star, yet also relates to the fact that she used to dream about being one. The two other picture of Cheryl contrast each other. For example, there is one of Cheryl before she was famous, and she looks nervous and unconfident, which matches with the headline of 'feel the fear and do it anyway', and the other one is of Cheryl in front of her fans looking relaxed and happy. This conveys that if you put in a lot of hard work and don't stop believing, you will eventually reach your dream, which would be obvious inspiration for young girls.
A large part of the double page spread is taken up by the headline, creating a huge focus on the message that is being put across, and attracting the eye of a reader if they are simply flicking through. There is also a picture of a rainbow, again giving the impression that Cheryl is dreaming and looking up to the stars.
The layout is clear and easy to read, and the text is divided into subheadings. Each of the questions are yellow or blue, this makes it clear when a question is being asked and when Cheryl Cole is answering it. 'Cheryl Cole' is written in bold in order to attract the reader, and the interview comes across as exclusive, as if you can't find this information out anywhere else on earth
