3. ANALYSIS OF WRITTEN ARTICLE
The article itself is basically about Dizzee Rascal and his
appearance at the NME photo-shoot. Dizzee Rascal is
shown to be a “diva” asking where his name is on the
graffiti wall. The article then goes on to comment about
his awards that he has received in 2009.
The style of the article is very friendly and chatty. This
style makes the audience feel like they are actually there
at the photo- shoot and feel like they are part of the
whole interview with the audience.
The article is written in to four columns with
approximately 75 – 100 words in each column so that it
is easier to read. If there was too many words on the
page then this may turn away the reader from actually
reading the article and causing them to skip the pages
and not read it.
The main heading/headline is quite dramatic because
they want it to catch the readers attention. By making
the heading the size of half a page the heading stands
out. “FROM TAGS TO RICHES” is a play on words with
“from rags to riches” so that it gets in to peoples minds.
