Featured Artist-
Jake Bugg

4.  Image (1 cover image that takes up half of the page)- This Photo
features Jake Bugg and is focused on only his face, the
background is a very blurred image of the city, with blurred lights
from cars and surrounding shops etc- this not only highlights Jake
Bugg’s face but links to his ‘all nighter’ in the city.
 Columns- The three columns are the main body text of the article.
 Lines – 2- 1 thick yellow line at the bottom of the page, 1 thin black
line at the top, neither of these overlap the image.
 Headline- Large, black but quite narrow text which is a pull quote
from the artist that explains how he is quite moody but will not
change his mood in the face of fame etc.
 Jake Bugg- Found in the by line and in yellow to make it stand out,
they do the same in the article also in the pull quote between the 2
last columns.
 Pull quote in the article- ‘I’m singing about the same things with a
different heart’ –this breaks up the article and makes the column
text indent around it, so it really stands out on the page. Another
factor that draws the readers eye as the text is on a black
background and the text is coloured white.

5.  Drop cap- Huge ‘A’ at the start and then a huge ‘I’ half way down
the third column at the break in the text. Both coloured yellow to
stand out and to link with the yellow colour scheme.
 Graphics- Box entitled Album no 2- why the rush? Coloured black
with white writing, but yellow coloured writing for words: Jake-‘It felt
like’ then carries on with the article. Captures readers attention and
draws their eyes as it’s different from the rest of the article and it
goes over the graphic line at the bottom, which makes it feel even
less part of the article.
 Fonts- There are 6 different font types- the headline, the pull quote,
the graphic box, the lines of writing on the side of the page, the
article itself and the lead. They give the article a more professional
look and enhance it as it makes the article more interesting and
quirky for the reader to look at, also it links to the reputation of the
artist, as I think the company has used the yellow text to highlight
the quite negative attitude of Jake Bugg.
 Main body text- indented extremely slightly when a new paragraph
starts 8-10 size font, black on a white background- quite formal
looking text informs the reader about Jake’s wild time in Manhattan
and about how he got his second album out and why he got it out
so quickly, also he comments on how this will affect him.

6.  Lead in- This is 4 lines long with Jake Bugg and the journalists name in
yellow, to enhance them and make them stand out. Gives a slight
introduction and background information that links to the article to
explain why the artist is acting in a certain way, so for example Jake
Bugg here has had a ‘mad’ Manhattan all-nighter, which could
explain why he might give slightly grumpy answers.
 The gutter- the fold in this magazine is conventional and is very easy
to identify as there the photograph on one side and the article on
the other.
 Page number- black bold font, about 12-14 text as part of the
footer.
 Footer- the page number with the date of issue next to it, but in a
much thinner font, so it doesn’t stand out as much.
 By line- Matthew Salacuse (The photographer) written in yellow to
make it stand out the word photograph written in black- placed
underneath the lead in. The article is written by Leonie Cooper and
this is placed in the lead in, mentioned before but is also highlighted
in yellow to make it stand out.

8.  Images- 1 main image- unconventional as it covers ¾ of the double
page spread and then a collage of 5 images that show the bands
life and personality as individual members. Each with captions as to
what they show, each with white writing and a red box surrounding
the text to link to the NME colour scheme.
 Columns- 3, two on the article page and one on the main
photograph this is used to break up the writing and make the article
look much more interesting.
 Headline – Again shown on the main photograph its reads ‘The
geeks who inherited the earth’ and its on three line to make it slightly
unconventional and different and to ensure it doesn't cover
anything important in the main image.
 The name of who they are featuring (Alt- J) is written in red, to make
it stand out, but its not the classic NME red it is slightly darker. This is to
make it stand out and give a slight change to the NME image to suit
the band, as maybe they are slightly different compared to other
bands.
 Pull quote- ‘We’re doing better than Radiohead, that’s your quote’.
This is written in a size 2-14 size font, but slightly bolder than the main
body text, to make it stand out and break up the article slightly, it
also gives the impression that the band is laid back, unconventional
and not prepared to give an inspirational quote that may not be
true to draw readers in, they wanted to show their inability to reform
to the usual ideologies of fame.

9.  Drop Cap- there is one drop cap and that is a capital T at the
start of the article and main body text.
 Graphics/Lines –There is one quite thick, red line underneath
the name of the person who said the quote (Gus-Unger
Hamilton) this is used not only to link to the colour scheme of
the page but to also highlight the name and make the
readers read this quote and thus want to read the article.
 Font and font styles- There are 5 main font styles- the
headline, the lead in, the main body text, the pull quote and
the captions on the photos these are used to differentiate
between the different areas of the page. Also it can change
the tones of the writing as if the writing is quite formal then the
readers may read it in a more formal tone and if the font is
curved then it may seem less formal.
 Lead In- Unconventional as it sits just below the headline and
not just above the article, which suggest the band are
unconventional and just explains who the band is and gives
brief information to the audience about the band for
example ‘they are the mercury prize favourites’.

10.  Main body text- size 8-10 font, black font on a white
background, written in two columns. This lack of writing is due
to the majority of the double page spread being taken up
with the photographs, however I think this works quite well
here as it is very likely that the article carries onto the next
page, where there will be various other pictures and more
writing but I feel that this gives the readers a page to get to
know the personalities of the band members, before they
read the article about the bands career and rise to fame.
 The gutter- the fold is very obvious to see in this article, and
although it is in the middle of the photograph, the magazine
editor has made sure that the fold goes through nothing vital
in the photograph, so overall I feel it works quite well.
 Page numbers- written in bold black font with a white
background, included as part of the footer.
 Footer- the page number, the date that the issue was
released.
 By line- written underneath lead in- the word photos written in
bold black writing and the name of the photographer (Matt
Salacuse) in bold red writing. Also the journalists name (Dan
Martin) is coloured red to make it stand out.
