This is the first magazine I

have seen with the image on

the right hand side of the

double page spread showing it

is unconventional.

Hair has been styled to look

messy but neat to show her

rebellious side. Also the dark

eye make up gives the

impression that she doesn’t care

what people think. Lastly she is

wearing a red lumber patterned

top which doesn’t show her as a

rich diva artist just that she’s

normal and down too earth

Clearly stating what

type of article this is.

Image is cut away and placed on the

background to make it stand out more

against the background. He has two full

sleeved tattoos showing he is rebellious as

this is a permanent mark on the body. Also

his hair is styled to look messy to suit his

rock star image. Clothes are plain but has

a weird object in a boxout on it this makes

it stand out from the white top.

Boarder of the double

page spread has like lights

round it enhancing the look

of the page making it more

eye catching.

Questions are in a boxout

format so it is easier to

identify the questions from

the answers.

Pull quote – The title is one

giant pull quote from the

article so the audience

knows straight away what it

is about. Text- The text is

colour coded highlighting

the most important parts of

the title.

The artist name place

in the top right hand

corner just in cause the

audience do not know

who she is.

The article

does not

have a title

or anything

at the top

giving the

audience

an insight

into the

article.

The article itself is very plane

and boring just using chunks

of texts of the same font.

However it does use a giant

‘L’ for Lady gaga in the

middle of the page in red to

make the text seem more

interesting. The red used on

the letter is also the same

red used on the logo

showing a running theme of

the colours (Housestyle)

Image taking up the

whole left hand side of

the page clearly

showing who the article

is about. It has a black

and white effect placed

on it to make it seem

that bit more mysterious

and edgy. The chains

round her neck is the

only item of clothing she

is wearing showing she

is doing this to seem

seductive and to be

different from other

artists. The make up

around her eyes is quite

dark this is also making

her more mysterious as

eyes are a main feature

we use to recognise

someone. Her hair is

quite messy showing

her rebellious side.
