"My Girl is a Real-life Barbie" - Take a break.


Name: My Girl is a Real-life Barbie
Source: Take a Break
Date: 14/02/2013

Synopsis:
 
 Barbie, is a 7-year-old girl. Whose mother Samantha spends every last penny on keeping Barbie in pink frilly dresses. Samantha noticed that from a young age Barbie enjoyed posing for the camera so decided to launch her modelling career. She has even spent hundreds if not thousands turning their home into a pink, Barbie palace. She has pink carpets and the kitchen is filled with 22 ornimental cupcakes and pink pots and pans.

Analysis:
 
The article contains nine pictures of Barbie and her mother, starting from the center and spreading out to both bottom corners, with the largest, main image in the middle. This to me suggests that Barbie loves to be center of attention.The use of pink directly relates to the contents of the article, in which its talks about Barbie's love for all things pink and sparkly.

 The use of pink and so many pictures of Barbie, shows the audience just how young she is, and gives them the exact message that the writer was trying to commumicate, that is the same as my own documentarty and supporting tasks. Although this double page spread is not from a listing magazine, the target audience would be much the same as my own documentary, that of young to middle aged mothers with young daughters themselves. I also chose to use a similar layout to the one which this article uses, as although it doesn't contain much information there is still enough to inform the audience of what the documentary includes.
