The Bratz

“The Bratz” two of the most talented 18 year olds around; gifted, intelligent and beautiful. Their story begins way back from the “streetz of North London.” From nothing, they amazingly became something! Major single selling, nationwide known, Hip-Hop princesses. Yes, they wanna rule Hip-Hop!
Record breaking album sales are top priorities for them BUT these sassy chicks also want to ‘represent’ – this is GIRL POWER for the noughties…


Q. “Bratz” you’ve known each other practically your whole lives now, so you must have had some very fun times! What would you say is you funniest Memory?
• Diva E: we sure do! Some very very fun times.
• Baby Blue: VERY fun times ( smiles)
(The girls look at each other and laugh)
• Diva E: I think one of the funniest would definitely have to be
me and Sel on new years

Q. Diva E, This may be a bit too personal, we know but that’s what makes it more interesting (With a big grin) what is your most Embarrassing Moment?
• (Gasps) Oh Gosh! July 22nd. My biggest gig at the time. I was on stage doing what I do best, this time at its worst. You would think while singing, the music changing and mic cutting off would be embarrassing! Well how about on top of that waving at your boyfriend, soon finding yourself flat on the floor in front of everyoneeee!! That WAS embarrassing...

Q. Baby Blue, we all now know you are a crazy, wild chick. There’s probably not just one, but what would you consider the craziest Thing you’ve ever done?
A. (Giggles) Well… were do I start. Ermm, it musta been when I was at some party in Miami, that was the BEST party ever by the way. Well yeah we were having fun, dancing, singing. I go into the building now. 6th floor! In the balcony and before you know it I’ve jumped right down into the swimming pool!! I still don’t know how I survived!!?? Sure was a thriller though.

Colours : I will be using bright bold strong colours on a dark background, for three reasons.

3. Seems fun, playful and welcoming to the reader

Looking At Different Contents Pages

This is another students work which i have found on the Internet and particularly liked. I like the way it is laid out and the style of the page, as all the bits fit in together neatly. It is clearly divided into different sections of the magazine making it easier for the audience to select which parts they want to read.

Moreover, the colours used go very well together; the neon yellow and white makes the writing stand out allot on the black background making the writing clear and readable, also and the pink gives a strong, bold outline to define the images the good colour co-ordinating scheme works well in this image and makes every detail stand out. This added to the attraction of their audience which would be teenagers, which is also the same for my one so i will be using bright, bold colours as well.

I like the fact that they have images on the contents page, and the images used are linked to the articles in the magazine. Images make a page seem more enjoyable and entertaining, it entices the reader to explore the magazine further, which this one definitely does. I too would like to add images into my contents page so it would seem fun and almost welcoming.
Furthermore, the fact that there are only a few images and they are part of the articles which are numbered with big bold writing makes them articles stand out the most which may be what the writer was trying to establish. This is a good way to make more important articles be seen and grab the readers attention.

The information included in the contents page was well thought out as all the artists are very famous, established R&B artists, which would attract the audience the writer is trying to appeal to. In addition, the other article titles included seem to be very interesting and teenagers would want to read them, as it did appeal to me and if it was in front of me i would definitely read the inside.
