The article is about the female musician Florence and the Machine. It uses feminine fonts and her image dressed in a black outfit to attract both male and female readers. Key details that stand out include her red hair, her location in the USA emphasized with the American flag, and her popularity described as "2009's biggest success" to draw readers in. The layout and color scheme are consistent with other pages to present the magazine as having a wide appeal across genres.
