analysis of Lilly Allen main article


Main image: 
  •  This main article consists of the well-known artist Lilly Allen.  Her picture is very big and placed on one whole page which suggests her superiority in the music industry and in the music she produces.
  •  She is dressed very simple with limited jewellery linking to the floating quote ‘’ I am just honest’ showing she is not an attention seeker.
  •  Her make up, casual cloths and short hair goes with the type of music she is producing.
  • She is looking at the audience (direct address). Editors might have done this to draw audience’s attention as it looks like she is talking to them.
Typography:
  • Floating quotes are used to draw reader’s attention in the most interesting bits in the interview. The floating quotes are typed in a funny way, this is too catch the audiences eye so that they won’t miss the article out.
  •  Copy is written in columns, which gives it a constant structure, this suggests that the article is aimed at older target audience between the ages of 18-28. This subverts the R&B genre as most main R&B articles are written in a question and answer form, which makes it easy for audiences to read.
  • Subheading is used to give the audiences a taste what the main article is going to be about.
Colour scheme:
  • The colours she is wearing connect with the colour scheme that is used trough out the page.  Red is a colour that appeals to both male and a female suggesting the magazine is aimed at a heterosexual audience.
  • Further more, a lot of black is used trough out the page which links with hear appearance which is quite gothic and goes well with the type of music she is producing.
