I am going to examine the difference between a typical pop music magazine double spread and a rock/indie magazine double spread:
Also, the artists makeup and costumes are practically opposites; Pixie Lott is wearing a girly dress whereas Lilly Allen is wearing a checkered red shirt and her makeup is heavily dark and gothic.
Another key contrast between the two double spread is that the pop magazine is a lot more calm looking and not bold nor extreme. However, observing the rock/indie magazine we can see bold, messy lettering to emphasise the extremity of rock/indie music.
The nature of the articles themselves are clearly different - the title of the articles are different; the pop music one says 'How perfect is Pixie?' which immediately tells us that it is a lighthearted article praising the artist. On the other hand, 'People think I'm an attention seeker but I'm just honest…' is entirely different as it insinuates that the artist is quite rebellious and nothing like Pixie Lott.
I have also noticed that on the pop magazine there are more images of the artist (3) than there is on the rock/indie one (1).
