ARTICLE ANALYSIS FOR
MEDIA STUDIES
IN THIS HOMEWORK I WILL ANALYSE 2 ARTICLES TAKEN FROM
MUSIC MAGAZINES
MOJO MAGAZINE ARTICLE
This music magazine article is a biographical article because it talks about somebody's
life. It conveys quite a reminiscent theme because it uses a black and white image
and almost everything else is in the same colours with the background being black and
the text being white. The text is centrally aligned and uses a drop cap at the beginning
of the article.
The layout of this article is very simple because the
actual article is on one side of the double page and the
image is on the other. I think this layout if very effective
because the image is very clear as it is so large.
LAYOUT
The headline is a fairly short quote and it is very large covering a big part of the
page. It seems to be a message to the reader trying to involve them by telling
them to "be there." This makes the article more interactive because it can
make them feel like they are being told to do something.
HEADLINE
INTRODUCTION
The introduction is a way of leading the reader into the main article and telling
them a little bit about what they are going to read. This particular introduction
highlights names of the people that it feature,this also helps to inform of what they
can expect. Furthermore, the introduction uses quotes which also tells what the
article features.
TEXT
The text is made very clear because it is
white on a black background and so the
contrasting colours make the text stand
out even though it is not very big and
bold.
MADONNA MUSIC MAGAZINE ARTICLE
The second article is about Madonna and it is a Q&A article. It has quite a feminine style
because the main image is of Madonna. Also the use of colours is very calm.there are no
bright colours that make the text stand out.
LAYOUT
The layout of this article is exactly the same as the first one. The main image is on one side of
the double page and the text is on the other side. This layout is very clear and makes the
reading easier for the audience.
HEADLINE AND
INTRODUCTIONThe headline is very simple and makes it very
clear to the reader what the article will be
about because it just uses the name of the
music artist who features in the article. It
stands out because it is written in large text at
the top of the page and it's in blue which
stands out against the white background and
the black text below it.This introduction, in
comparison to the previous one,is very short
but it still introduces the audience into the
article quite well because we are told that it is
about madonnas life.
TEXT
The text in this article is black on a white
background, which makes it very easy to read. The
parts which are questions are in bold writing whereas
the answers from madonna are in normal writing, this
helps to easily recognise which parts are the
questions and which parts are the answers. Also
before every question or answer we are told who is
saying it an this is shown in larger capital letter text.
The text is set out in three columns and it is
centrally aligned. In comparison to the other article,
this one does not use a drop cap at the very
beginning.
