Writing the Article...

Firstly I had decided to do an interview for my double page spread. I thought this would be a good idea as it would take a some what chatty atmosphere making it easier to write. I had done some research before composing the article and I looked at several double page spreads in other music magazines to see what they covered. I found that most of them covered a variety of topics but commonly discussing relationships, a future in music and one main story e.g. dealing with depression. So for my article I decided to include relationships, a future album/tour and for the main topic of discussion I chose to talk about why Sammi left the band she was previously in.

When writing the article I decided to keep most questions short and to the point allowing for more elaboration in the answers. I felt this would be more appealing to my target audience as they are people who are very interested in the music created by artistes and in their personal life. So I made most of the answers long to give the readers a real in sight into the artistes mind and what they were really thinking. However to break it up a little I added some shorter answers to keep the chatty tone.

I began the article talking about why Sammi split from the band, I think this would interest readers as it is information they couldn't  get anywhere else. I then moved on to discussing a new single and album where I spoke about what type of music would be on the album, this would appeal to my target audience as it lets them know what to expect form the album before buying it. Finally I briefly mentioned relationships where Sammi said she was single which fans would find interesting.
