Font style and type They have used

different types of fonts to give the magazine

genre different effects. The font they have
used is different for the paragraphs as it looks
like a type writer styled font and the title of
the page is in a bold font which stands out on
the page, so its the first place people will
look. The title is a bit crooked and different
sizes so it gives the page a messy effect.
There are paint splodges behind the title
which shows that this could like to the image
of graffiti as spray paint is what they use. The
paragraphs are in a small font so that they
only take up a small amount of the page.

They have used a basic layout as the image

is taking up one page and the writing is
taking up the other which is a common
convention for a magazine double page
spread. This is so that the audience is
attracted to both pages in a different way.
Column width and positioning Columns have
been used to split the text into four sections
and they have been positioned next to each
other so that the audience is able to read the
article smoothly without having to look at
every single part of the page.
Quotations In the article there are speech
marks referring back to what someone has
said, this tells the audience that they have
spoken to an individual about the topic and
have been given/received information about it.

Use of space On the double page spread

they havent left very much white space
which makes the page look fuller. They have
covered a large amount of space with images,
one page is of a medium shot of the artist
Dizzee Rascal and the other page has smaller
images at the very bottom of the page which
is showing items that people would have
when going to a party. This takes up of the
page, the article also takes up in the lower
centre of the page and the title takes up 2/4
of the page as its in a large font so it would
take up a large amount of room.

Use of images The main image on the double page spread is of Dizzee Rascal as this is
taking up a full page. Dizzee is standing by the graffiti wall which also looks like he is
going to add some of his work to it because he looks suspicious and has a can of paint in
his hand. He is looking away from the camera which suggests that its not a direct
address shot as he is not engaging with the audience. He looks as if he is looking around
to see if anyone is there before he sprays the wall, which shows that hes being
rebellious. The images on the right bottom section are of empty beer bottles on a table
with a music player, this suggests that there has been a party.

Colour scheme - The colour scheme consists of

mainly black and white as this is the
background colour that the text is written on
top of and the text colour is black. But also has
a range of other multicolours because of the
graffiti background as it has been neutralised.
The artist is also sticking to the colour theme as
red, white and black has been used throughout.

How image and text are integrated The

images relate to the text because the article is
about Dizzee Rascal and theyre showing an
image of him so the audience knows who he is.
The drink bottles link to the text as it says that
2009 has been Dizzee Rascalss year which
would mean that he wouldve celebrated his
success in music. The music player links to the
text because music is what career he has and
its what theyd play at parties. The large letter
at the start of the article would draw the
readers attention into reading it, as its larger
and bolder than the rest of the articles text so
would catch their eye. Mode of address has
been used as a music magazine is presented to
the audience because they try to interest them
with interesting topics. They are talking to the
target audience when they address them by
using the word you for example.
