The document analyzes and compares the layout features of two magazine articles - one from Vibe magazine about rapper Drake and the other from Billboard about pop artist Usher. It notes that the Vibe article has two large images of Drake and an equal balance of images and text, while the Billboard article has one large image of Usher taking up a full page. Both articles use bold, contrasting colors for pull quotes but differ in other design elements like fonts, paragraph breaks and color schemes.

1. Featured Article
Analysis

2. This vibe article features a story
about the rapper Drake. There are
two large images of him
presented on each page which
would be the first thing the
audience focuses on. There is also
an equal ratio amount of text to
images which balances the
composition and arrangement of
the article. The pull quote is in a
bold font with a red colour
providing a contrast to the dark
and solemn colours of the rest of
the article. The font that is used
for the main body of the text is
very plain and simple making it
easy for the audience to read. The
use of the gutter space in
between the text again makes it
easier to read and gives it a
greater structure to the layout.

3. This Billboard article features the
pop artist Usher. Dissimilar to the
Vibe magazine, there is only one
image featured but it is very large
and takes up the whole page.
Next to it, there is a whole page of
text showing again an equal ratio
of text to image. The pull quote is
bold and in white which stands
out from the rest of the article
which is what we saw in the Vibe
magazine. The main body text
uses a small font and is broken up
into paragraphs. This makes it
seem like there is less to read. The
colours used are mainly dark and
grey except for the actual artist
who is wearing a blue shirt. This is
different to the Vibe magazine
where the artist is wearing all
dark clothes.
