1. Analysing a Feature Article
The magazine has chosen to focus the feature article on this particular artist (Drake) as he is extremely successful and current. The magazine
targets 16-19 year olds that are interested in the artist and getting to know more about him. The page attracts the audience visibly with a
large picture of the artist himself and a large headline in capital letters. The article uses both formal and informal lexis, with a bit of humour.
This engages the audience. The article praises Drake from start to finish, including his obsessive female fans, intense life and the most
successful moments in his career. The article uses quotes from Drake and other well recognised artists to further engage and entertain the
reader, making them feel like they are understanding Drake personally. The article uses some slang; ‘hanging out’ ‘smash’. This targeting the
audience specifically with language relevant to the age group.
There are 3 columns, this makes the article more visibly attractive and seemingly less to read. The ratio of text to pictures is unbalanced.
There is only one image of drake on a large scale, and text which takes up ¾ of an a4 page. The quote “I cant paint a façade, look at the
Rolex. Its not all happy” is enlarged (pull quotes). This part of the article will attract the reader and potentially persuade them to read the
whole article.
The cover model is Drake. He is looking directly into the camera with a serious but emotional expression. Drake appeals to the younger
generation as he is very current and modern artist, relevant to the teens themselves. The body language and attitude of the model is very
casual, mysterious and laid back. The jewellery worn suggests wealth and is also attractive to the target audience as it is likely to be something
they aspire to have themselves. This is significant and relevant to the audience and the
magazine as a music magazine. The casual denim clothing suggests that drake is similar
to his fans despite his fame and wealth.

paragraphs suggests that this is the start of the main part of this article.

artist, this meaning her face is recognised every and anywhere. This immediately draws attention to the article. She is looking directly into
the camera in a provocative manner. In this sense, Gaga may appeal more to men in this article. Lady Gaga has no clothes on and is covering
herself with her hands. This suggests a very garnish and sexy attitude, which is what the artist is well known for. The picture has been further
edited into greyscale to create a more artistic and classic affect to both the magazine and Lady Gaga herself.
At the bottom right hand corner of the page, the logo of the magazine is just visible
highlighting what magazine this is.
