Analysis of Language and Layout.



The article has a main image at the top of the page so the reader understands what the article is about.

It shows the band against a black background which could reference the genre of music they prefer and there is a little box of information on a red background so it stands out, the writing also stands out from the red because it is in a white font, this keeps to the colour scheme and neutrality of the magazine.  

Underneath this picture is another picture of the lead singer standing alone because as well as being the main topic of discussion in the article he is also the 'face' the band so therefore is more recognisable.

On the left-hand side of the article is another short article called 'Space Odyssey', the background is in red which keeps with the theme of the magazine. It is a production technique.







The article has a black heading as it says "Alex Turner? The dullest man in the world" so they might be using humer in their article by making the font a dull colour.

The main image is central to the article to draw the attention of the reader. Because this is an interview, the interviewer's words are in red and the answers are in black so the reader can diferentiate between the two.

There is also a red box with information in it which is bigger than the interview text because it gives a preview of what is being said in the interview.

There is also a puff which advertises a competition and what the reader can win. The colours in the article are red, white and black which are the most common colours used, as they are the most appealing colours to the human eye.

I like the way the interviewer's text is in bold and the answers are in black, I also like the way the main image has been placed, straight in the middle with the text around it. I like the basic colours of the article and the way it hasn't got too much going on so that it is easier to concentrate on the article itself.
