3. Analysis of written article
The article itself is basically about the artist that
was on the front cover which is the same as the
one on the other side of the page. It is about
what he has been up to for the past year.
The style of the article is quite formal, as it is a
serious article it is about him and his rise to
fame and how he made it into the music
industry.
It is written in 4 short columns each of
approx75-100 words, and this shows that it is a
fairly short interview as they haven't written
pages about him, but they have still found out
what he has been up to and awards that he has
received and songs that he is releasing.
The main heading/headline is quite dramatic, as
it says ‘From Tags To Riches; which is a play
on word as the original saying is from rags to
riches, just from reading the title, you already
know a little bit about his background without
even reading the article.

5. Analysis of written article 2
The article itself is about the artist that was on the
other half of the page, and it is about what the
artist has been doing and how her singing career is
going and how she is finding fame and fortune.
The style of the article is quite formal, as it has
been set out in a professional format, as the artist
is on one page and the article is on the other page.
It is written in three columns and each column gets
bigger and bigger each time to show that the artist
is gradually becoming bigger and more well
known. They aren't pages about the artist they are
just three columns and this is good because the
audience doesn't want to read loads and loads of
information about one person they would much
rather read a few short columns.
The main heading/headline is of the artists song
and that is done on purpose because it is showing
that the artists song is so well known that by
reading it you automatically know that it isn't just
words there it is the artists songs.
