This article’s title is “Judge Jessie” which is clearly noticeable by the larger scale of font. This magazine uses a range of bright colours that are continued throughout. For example, pink and purple are the two primary colours that are heavily associated with Top Of The Pops. The title is located within a circle, which features these two colours, it also has contrasting colours such as white and gold so that it stands out and catches the reader’s attention.

There is a sub head used as an explanatory passage below the article title. This briefly explains what the following article is about in a short piece of text. This is located in the bottom half of the circle in a contrasting colours so that is more clear for the reader to understand.

The dominant image covers the majority of the second page so that the article doesn’t need to feature as much text to accommodate it. Jessie J (featured) is standing against a white background with polka dots occasionally splattered around which incorporates the colour scheme: pink, purple, blue and gold. The artist featured is also wearing appropriate coloured clothes; purple and gold. Again, this is continuing the colour scheme throughout.

The sub image used a studio for ‘The Voice’, which is the primary reason that Jessie is getting interviewed. This is to give readers a preview of what the show is about if they have not already seen it previously. The image is located in the bottom left hand corner beneath the main text on the corresponding page to Jessie so that the layout does not become overly complicated.

This magazine also uses a pull quote directly from the magazine to give the reader a preview of what is included. It reads, “I shaved my head for charity”. This is a significant topic that the artist included has achieved which is likely to interest the majority of readers. The speech marks are noticeably larger than the text to indicate a quote has been used which would make the reader more likely to read this first before the actual main text. It also features a reverse out so that the colours used appeal better to the reader, rather than two harsh looking colours.
