1. MUSIC MAGAZINE ARTICLE ANALYSIS

2. Images
There are a variety of images in this article, this
makes the article more interesting and more visual as
we can see the artists journey (Pictures of the past
up to now) as well as the artists story from Ariana's
point of view.
This is the main image in the article.
It shows the artist in a natural pose,
standing in a confident position
,making eye contact with the
audience.
The images are all relevant to the story
shown in the article. All these images
look exciting, fun and show Ariana is
having an good time through those
series of events.
The images are aligned
in an interesting way
which makes the layout
of the article look a lot
nicer than having the
images the same size
and setout in a straight
line for example.
The face of the artist is
very clear as lightning
was used which makes
the artist stand out
from the background
significantly and
reveals all the face
makeup (Pink lips,
white eye shadow).

3. Large text pull quote from the
article; this quote makes the
audience intrigued and interested
to read the article and for them to
come to a conclusion why Ariana's
mum thought she might grow up
to a serial killer. (The most
interesting quote is picked out
from the article to catch the most
attention. It's also a sans serif font
which differs from the serif font of
the article. A page number, the
date of the magazine
article and the name of
the magazine is
featured at the bottom
left of the page in small
font
This double page spread is about
Ariana Grande’s life; Almost like a
short biography highlighting the
artists most important events-
with funny and shocking stories.
The first letter of the
article is large and in a
slightly bold font with
a blue font to bring an
eye to the start of the
article; so that it is
different from the
article itself.

4. The colour scheme
The colours used in the article are very
simple and plain; the background is
white so that the text can be easily
read. A darker background is placed
when the artist is so that the artist
stands out from the page and so that it
adds a bit more colour to the article.
There are small captions
for the images in the
article explaining briefly
about the images(date
and place of the image
taken etc. It informs the
reader where the artist
had been and what they
have been doing to
inform the reader where
the artist goes so that if
they are her fans ,they
can see the places she
had visited.
There are four columns in the
article for the text .The text is in a
small font however it is spaced out
to make it easier for the audience
to read which makes the layout
look more tidy so it is more
pleasant to read.

5. Overall I think this article was targeted for any Ariana Grande’s fans
however the amount of the text indicates that the article is also
targeted for an older audience (Ages 15-20’s) as the younger
audience prefer less text in an article. This article would be mainly
targeted for dedicated fans who would like to find out more about
her life or just an audience who would like to read how she achieved
what she is doing now to get inspiration from the artist.
