2. Analysis of
written article
The article itself is basically about how Dizzee has grown in
his career. First by explaining what the whole atmosphere
was like when he first entered the photo shoot premises and
people’s reactions to him. Leading on to how he reacted,
following on to his success.
The style of the article is very informal as the writer talks as if
you are a friend as is relatable when talking about when
Dizzee entered the shoot before giving factual information on
his achievements.
It is written in 4 short columns each of approx75-100 words
so that it can be easily read for the reader without much
effort. This also means the reader can let what they are
reading sink in.
The main heading/headline is quite dramatic from the sheer
size taking up half of the a4 page. Also as mentioned
previously it is very clever as it is a play on words from ‘rags
to riches’ suggesting that’s the path Dizzee’s life has
followed. Also the ‘tags’ being fitting to the graffiti tags on the
left page of the double spread.
