The large imagetaking up the entirefirst page posing forthe camera and some of the secondpage. The image isof FlorencheWelch, singer of“Florence and the machine” she isengaging the readers, directlylooking to the audience. She is ina sexy position, that conveys toappeal to the male audience. Her redhair matches the red striped material making it the onlybit of colour on the whole page. Thismakes the readerattracted by the picture.

The main text issmaller than the other text on the page and fills up half of the secondpage. The first letter is madebigger so that the readers knowswhere to start reading and makesthe piece of text stand out and look interesting. The text is put in tocolumns to make iteasy to read and toview.

Before the article even starts there’s a piece of text that gives an insight to what the article will be about. This is for make the reader more into the article. This text is a bit

larger than the main text which makes it stand out and so should be read first. The nameof the woman in the image ”Florence Welch” is highlighted in blue to stand out to the

reader. The text ends with a question which means they are interacting with the reader, and this involves him more

.

“Got The Love” is the other part of the title, the fact that is written in italicmakes it more classy and feminine. The three words are associated with the woman as they are part of the lyrics ofthe most famous hit of the singer.

The background is plain, using severaltones of grey, that helps the picture tostand out. The word “USA” is part of the background, but also o the title, itstands out because its coloured in a darker grey but it doesnt come out asthe other part of the title.

The main heading “Love Amongst Ruin” is bold and white, so it contrast the dark background, for this reason it is veryvisible and clear. Under the title we find another sign “The

bitter end” this is smaller and it doesnt stand out as itshould, since it’s the name of the band featured in the

article.

The main text is spread out on the two page one section of itis on the left page and the other is on the right. The articlestarts where there’s a miniature of the band’s latest album

cover. The colour of the text is a bit different making it stand out from the image. The text boxes behind it are slightly

darkened so the text is well-visible. Even if the font is a bit toosmall.

On the left bottom side we have a quote : “I’m back to a place where i can enjoy again” this is in white and bold and the reader will surely read iteven before starting toread the whole article.

The Big image coveringthe two pages to attractthe readers to this page. The image consists of the band in medium long shot with some of the band members lookingat the camera makingeye contact with the readers. The ones lookindirectly to the audience have got a challangelook. Their clothes are black and that conveys togive the idea of “rock genre”.

In this double page spread we have a picture of the band featured in the article “The

Vaccines” and then the starting of the article that covers half of the

second page.The picture of the band is so

representative. The band leader is on the foreground holding his guitar and looking directly to the

audience. The other band’s member are behind him, as though they were forming a

square. They all look the audience. Their clothes are really normal, as usual, that means that

the photographer wanted to capture them as they are without

making up anything, just documenting the real style of the

band.

Another interesting thing are those light blue “stickers” that have been put all over the page. That gives a nice effect because it recalls the

colour of the highlighted words/sentences.The paragraphs of the article start with a capital letter, bigger than the

rest of the article text. That helps the reader to see where the next paragraph start and where the previous one ends

The colour scheme of the article is very simple but the eye is cought by it. Wehave

Light blue, black and white. The title “The Vaccines” is in bold black. Under the title there is a sort of summary of what is in the article highlighting in light

blue the key words. The text of the artcile is divided in column, the column on the right is broken by a quote, to which has been given prominence by the

font size and the colour.
