feature article;
The first feature article I am analysing is from an issue of NME. This article is about Tom Clark’s opinion on Alex Turner. The lay out of this article is very simple and easy to read, they have one main image and then two text boxes with question and answer articles in it. These two text boxes are on either side of the page with the image central. There headline is above the text boxes and above the main part of the picture, which makes it stand out as it is the first thing they readers will read. Above the headline is a red box which fits in with the colour scheme of the whole magazine. The layout of this page is set up into rectangles and all the text boxes and image are fit around each other and the text box aren’t over lapping the image it all fits together nicely.
The image used for the background is of Tom Clark standing with a wide stance and arms behind his back. He has eye contact with the camera which makes a connection between the reader and himself, it also engages the reader. The location of the shot is in a white modern building with plenty of windows which makes the image very light and because Tom is wearing black and blue he stands out but still looks casual. The angle of the shot is taken from a worms eye view making him appeal bigger and more powerful, which goes with the headline of ‘Alex Tuner? The dullest man in the world.’
The text is in black and red which matches the magazines colour scheme. The questions that the journalists have asked him are in red standing our form the reply that he answered with, this makes it easier for the reader to see which is the question and which is the answer. They have also pulled a quote from the text and made it into the headline title; this gives the reader an idea of what the article is about, also is connects the headline with the text. They have used a drop cap for the B and used serif which makes the text look formal and ordered. They have back the text with white so it pops out from the background image but it doesn’t look odd as the image is mostly light colours.
