Main article planning

The concept idea that i have come up with for the main double page spread article within my magazine is about a female british singer in which she is talking about her life as a celebrity and how many young girls see her as a role model. This is because the target audience for tha magazine is teenage girls around 12-15 which means not only will they understand the concept of the article but they will also relate to it because the person whom the article is about is someone they are likely to be fans of.

I have decided that the headline of the article will be a quote taken from the article that sums up the basis of the content briefly. This is because the research that i have done for pop music magazines show that this technique has been used a lot because it gives the reader more of an incite into the life of their favourite singers before having to read anything which also tempts them to read more. The quote will then be simply explained underneath in slightly smaller writing to give the reader more information about what they are about to read.

Headline ideas:

• "I don't understand it, i'm just like every other girl out there!"
• "I'm the girl that no one ever noticed, now people wont leave me alone!"
• "People think that all celebrties are divas, but i'm just like everyone else."

The structure of the written content and text will be a question and answer form like an interview. This is because the research i have done has shown that people of the age of my target audience will be more interested in an article that is in interview formation because it is easier to read than a two or three columns full of text.

Question ideas:

• "How is celebrtity life treating you?"
• "Why do you think so many people see you as a role model?"
• "What has changed about your life most since being in the spotlight?"
• "Now you're living the dream, is there anything that you would change about your life?"
• "Who is your celeb crush?"
• "So many young people see you as a role model. Who was your role model when you were younger?"
• "Is there anyone special in you life at the moment?"
• "Lets play snog, marry, avoid. Your three people are Justin Bieber, Channing Tatum and Bruno Mars."
• "Tell us about your new album, what's the inspiration about it?"
• "Do you write your songs about real life situations?"
• "What is the best and worst thing about your celeb life?"
• "Who is the most famous person in your phone book?"

In terms of images, i have decided that the image will be of the person in which the article is about on a plain white background to put more emphasis on her and the mise-en-scene within the image. The mise-en-scene in this image will create a fun and lively vibe. For exmaple, the props will consist of pretend microphones, pink feather boas, tiaras etc. The facial expressions will be happy and she will be looking at the camera to allow the audience to feel connected.  I will also use two other images that i will place below the written content. These images will be of her with fans and/or giving an incite into her life as a popstar behind the scenes.
