Pop Magazine Double Page Spread:
Alternative Rock Double Page Spread:
Right at the beginning of the main text among this double page spread, the language starts with the words "diva, brat", which we could argue are words that you may associate with the genre pop as well. However, from what I have seen in pop magazines and judging by the one I have chosen to analyse the language of above, words such as these are not mentioned within a pop magazine, they use more soft, sweet words such as "star", "friends" is used a lot, possible to create a fun, comfortable and light atmosphere for the reader.
Now both double page spread covers above feature the colour pink, the pop mixes it with light/bright colours, whereas alternative rock mixes it with black, grey, very darker colours. To me the choice of colours often reflects not just the genre, but the language of the text within the magazine. The darker colours mixed with the pink give off a vibe which tells us in the text some more harsher words may be used, but the brighter colours for the pop magazine again connote the text features very soft and light vocabulary, to cater to there younger audience.
When writing and creating my double page spread story for my pop magazine, I need to take into account these factors so I can apply them appropriately to my story and create a piece which very much suits my genre and the audience that genre is aiming to attract.
