This double page spread features an analysis of two magazine articles: [1] The first article focuses on musician Dizzee Rascal. It uses urban imagery like graffiti and a photo of Dizzee tagging to match his style. The short, informal text is meant to connect with young readers. [2] The second article profiles Florence Welch sitting on an American flag. The minimalist background emphasizes the large portrait. The playful headline references one of her hit songs. Welch's confident pose shows her pride in her music and its appeal to female readers.

3. Analysis of
written article
• The article itself is basically about the way
Dizzee Rascal conducted himself when he
walked into NME studio and how he’s
picked up a few awards later. He still has a
bad-boy image and as soon as he walks in
demands his name and starts tagging with
a spray can
• The style of the article is written in a chatty
and informal way to connect with the
target audience as they would most likely
be students
• It is written in 4 short columns so the main
image is the focus, its short and snappy so
its not drawn out to bore the reader
• The main heading/headline is quite
dramatic and also a play on words which is
informal. It is huge and takes up half the
page to catch your eye and to direct you to
the article
