2. ANALYSIS OF WRITTEN ARTICLE The article itself is basically about Dizzee Rascal, telling the reader about how, recently, he has turned his life around enforcing his music career, getting involved in new albums and meeting fellow celebrities. The main headline places emphasis on how he has gone from an average guy to a well-known rich artist within the hip-hop genre. The style of the article is written in four short columns each of approximately 75-100 words, explaining his life in short and chatty language. Typical of Dizzee’s background and genre of music that interests him, it relates to his type of fan, being the kind of guy he is.

Using a traditional saying and adapting it to his lifestyle, makes it notable and easy to remember, yet quirky and cool for the target audience and the fans who may read this particular article.

4. ANALYSIS OF WRITTEN ARTICLE The article itself is basically about Camp Rock the Musical, advertising the characters, story and music in this film, and how the Jonas Brothers played part in the making, putting a huge main image attracts the reader and engages that a famous band is in a teenage movie. The style of the article is written in two average columns each of approximately 75-100 words, the font isn’t too small, because for the target audience, too much written text isn’t wanted. The language used in this magazine is simple, informal and quite colloquial. For example there are slang words used on this front cover. "omg" "eew". This appeals to the audience because it is language they would use and so therefore they can relate to it and understand the use of this. The main heading/headline is quite dramatic in huge, dominating font style. The bright colours of yellow, orange and pink justify the young girl reader. The overall theme lacks formality, and intrigues the reader.
