Planning An Article

The article which will be featured in my double page spread is going to be about a female pop solo artist. It is going to be written in the style of an interview about their experience of rising up the music charts. To start with there will be a brief introduction of the artist and their role in the music industry which will be written in the third person as it is just a general overview, as the interview is then shown the narrative will change to first person, the initials of the magazine will be in bold before the interviewers question and the artists response will be shown with their initials also in bold followed by their answer. I am choosing to do this as I feel as though it makes the artist seem much more relatable and approachable to the reader as they are seeing responses from the artist themselves. It is going to feature quite friendly and informal language as I again feel that this will make the artist seem much more approachable to the reader and as my magazine is aimed at a younger target audience I want it to be in the style of language that would be most suitable for them. I also want the interview to be quite fun and quirky as I want to match the article to the pop genre of my magazine, there would be no point in having quite blunt language seen in magazines such as NME which represent the rock genre for my pop magazine. There is going to be music industry related topics in the article such as the artists upcoming tour, how the found the recording experience and how they are promoting their album for example visiting different countries and going on radio tours. 
The introductory paragraph is going to be quite a dramatic overview of the artist explaining how this is an exclusive interview with a bright new artist and how they are establishing themselves in the music industry. This makes the content of the article seem like a must read to the reader, they want to learn more first about the artist before anyone else as it is described as an exclusive and audiences typically enjoy knowing about huge upcoming artists before everyone else. 
Some extra text that will be featured on the page is going to be quotes around the page from the artist themselves representing the type of person they are. I am doing this again to make the artist seem approachable to the reader in order to gain support and fan loyalty for the artist. Their will also be links to the artists twitter and facebook page, again another way of making fans loyal to the artist and want to follow what they are doing in the music industry and to gain news of upcoming tour dates and promotion events.
