featured articles

Here i have researched two featured articles with a double page spread. We can identify some of the similar key points in both structures for example the column styled writing, a picture used as the main backgroung with other images included and a bold heading along with other sub-headings. As we know that in music magazine no artist will appear unless advertising something therefor in this article it is Lady Gaga and she it is revolviong around her music tours. I am liking this article very much, its bold; 'in your face'. It sums up the whole look of what i am looking at creating for my article. I think the snappy heading 'GIVE IT UP FOR GAGA' is brilliant. Its enforcing the idea her work has been successful, her tours are fab: as it does actually say within a sub-heading in the article 'if you were lucky enough to catch LADYGAGA at her private showcase, you too, would have gone all googly-eyed.' This sub-heaading also entices the reader in as we want to know why, what was so brill about her tours. The use of words within the this-subheaidng are great, its like a punn: 'googly-eyed.' The article is a mixture of facts and little phrases of an interview. which i think is a good combo to use within an article. I think this is a good article i should use for inspiration as like i said its combined with facts and an interview whic is what im looking at creating. But i think im going to add more parts of an interview within mine though.

The audience for this type of article would be around 13+

Here is the other article i researched. Both articles are similar with what they have used but yet there are differences too. This article for the punk styled band 'THE TEENAGERS' includes advertisements of other bands, as we can see along the right side. As well as chosen speech which has been highlighted. Some articles choose to do this as the speech could involve humour or important as to it revealing part of something interesting and so therefor helping to entice the readers on. The colour scheme and style of this article, to me, is pretty boyish and aimed at the male teenagers and again like the above article 13+.
