Case Study Part 4: Analysing the Double Page of a Magazine
The double page spread of this magazine is about Britney Spears which takes up eight pages with four being just photographs of her.
The title of the double page spread is "stronger than yesterday" written in type writer font without any capital letters to give a more editorial effect, the title is a lyric from her 2000's hit "Stronger". The writers state she has "risen back to the top of her game" and in her "only UK interview" showing the reader that Marie Clarie has the inside scoop on what her secret is.
On the third page we see one page full of text and the other with a photograph taking up the majority of the page with inspiring quotes for young people such as " I care more about feeling sexy than looking sexy. That all comes from within" showing the readers that even a huge celebrity doesn't seek approval from others to how she looks, she only listens to herself which sends a positive message out to the readers. The interview goes into detail about her debut single from her latest album which is her 9th which the readers would expect her to be used to her success by now but we see her more down to earth side with her saying "Can i scream?" in an excited tone. Most pop-stars have an arrogance about them knowing their success and being completely egotistic whereas Britney seems more humble and not cocky about her successes. Then the interviewer talks about her debut on the scene back in 1998 when she released her first single "Baby One More Time" when she was only 16 the reader would think she must be so confident and outgoing but at the time she has stated "I try to act tough but i'm not". However in 2016 she is in the "best place she has been for years" since she has now been in the industry for 18 years.
The interview continues with where Britney is currently in her life talking about her Vegas residency and how much money it has earned her, but this residency also allows her to spend more time with her pre-teen children showing that even a superstar has to balance her career and her home life. This is inspirational for mothers in particular because it shows them that as well as being a single mother she can still manage everything. She is an example that single mothers can be successful without being in the shadow of a man. We then dive into her social media were she is infamous for her "goofy" photographs of her and her boys which makes her come across more down to earth so the audience can relate to her and her silliness. Going into detail about how when she was young the stress of Los Angeles made her feel like she had to constantly look perfect and be perfect but what has made her feel better has been becoming a mother, "being with my boys has made me so much more accepting of myself" this could be relateable to mothers already but also aspiring mothers who may want children themselves showing them that children can bring out your inner self.
On the 5th and 6th pages we see more photography in black and white this time with a quote beside one saying "What I do know now is that I don't believe in happy ever after. I just believe in happy right now". This quotes persuades the reader into enjoying life currently rather than wishing to be happy in the future which is reinforced by her interview. Her perfume industry is then discussed with her releasing her 20th making her one of the biggest celebrity perfume endorsers, showing the reader that not only is she a popstar she has branched out into other things.
