2. Analysis of
written article
The article itself is basically about Dizzee Rascals life so far,
it relates to his mischievous upbringing which links to the title
of the article ‘from tags to riches’ implying that his fame has
made him a better more wealthier lifestyle.
The style of the article is set out as a double page spread in
a magazine.
It is written in 4 short columns each of approx75-100 words
The main heading/headline is quite dramatic, it stands out as
the main focus point on the page. It shows how Dizzee
Rascals life has planned out. The sub heading is an insight
to what the whole article is about, it mentions people in his
life and how much of an achievement he has made in the
last year.

4. ANALYSIS OF WTITTEN
ARTICLE- 2
This written article consists of three columns of the left hand side of the page and one single other column
on the far right hand side. This is different from a typical double page spread as normally the text is situated
on one side of the page and a large image is used on the other. There is a heading in a larger font to the
text on the left at the beginning of the article, this is the main heading on the page but again is different from
most headings as It isn't as large and doesn’t stand out on the page as much as other magazines such as
the previous NME article. There Is a subheading which is a quote from the artists interview on the other side
of the page referring to comment she has made about her lifer that she obviously wants to portray to her
readers. The only other text on the page is the thanks made to the interviewer and interviewee as well as
the editor. In the main four columns of text the artist speaks about her hobbies, work life and life at home.
