The style of this article seems to be extremely relaxed and casual, the colours are very plan and simple using the black, white and red. The simple colours also look great against the huge picture of the artist, which is printed using numerous colours.
We find out quite a bit from this artist, using just a simple question, plus, from the article we realise the artist is a very chatty person. I think this is brilliant in a magazine, it helps you understand the artist a lot more and to be able to relate to them. The big, bold, black lettering for sub-headings suggest what the next paragraph is about without giving too much away, it makes you want to read on and fi nd out more about the artist.
'Puff the magic dragon', 'a boy named Sue', 'Johnny, remember me', 'Hold on im coming', and 'only after dark' are all in different fonts compared to the rest of the article, this defines the sentences being some new and being the topic of conversation in that paragraph. The small font the article is mainly in is easy to read, and quite feminine to match the artist and to maybe match the readers.
The way the article is set out is brilliant, the huge picture on the left contrasting with the artists life on the right, you get a clear picture of what the artist looks like and how the artist comes across, for example: from this picture I get the feeling she isnt into glamour shoots, more natural and realistic seemed to be more appropriate to her. With their being a small picture in the top right of the cartoon, it adds interest into the article, with something different to look at. The whole page does appear to attract younger readers, its bright, fresh, and especially with the different fonts scattered, it looks different and new.
I would like my article to be somewhat similiar to this as i think it would attract readers and be popular to my age category.
