2. Analysis of
written article
1
The article itself is basically about how Dizzee Rascal
has risen to fame with his rap music, and has gone
from a life of street crime, violence and graffiti to a life
of fame, music and rich friends.
The style of the article is indie/street hip hop –
unconventional and unique. It follows the styling of
the rapper Dizzee and his lifestyle to make the layout
and design of the double page spread.
It is written in 4 short columns each of approx75-100
words, so the article isn't too heavy and shows as a
light but interesting read for the audience.
The main heading/headline is quite dramatic as it
draws in the eye of the readers. It takes up around ½
of the page – more than the main article does, and is
quite unconventional just like the rest of the
magazine.
