This article is from the music magazine kerrang, which is based on indie/rock music. As soon as the reader looks at this article the fist thing that they would see would be the quote by the singer the article is based in Lilly Allen. Having bold quotes within a double page article is a typical convention of music magazines.
Lilly Allen's image on the right takes up the whole of the right side, The artist has direct contact with the reader which is also another convention within music magazines, having direct contact allows the audience to be directly drawn into the article. Through mise-en-scene we can see that the artist is not representing a typical female, as she is not wearing female type clothing and is more towards the masculine side, as shown from the color of the clothing as well, as it is red. Subverting the representation of a typical female.
The article starts of with a Bold quote, which is written in white, and large font compared to the other font, and has a black background to it. Appealing to the audience. The colors used within this article are red, black and white, these colors are not bright colors, but as they are used on a white background they attract more attention. These colors go well together because they allow the magazine to be more understandable from the readers. the main point are stated in red, as the artist is wearing red it also shows that she is the main point of the article.
Before the article starts there is a few lines, describing what the article is about, this is useful as it allows the reader to either read on or not, as they don't have to read the whole article, the intention of the few lines are for a reader who will either read on or who will not. The article it self is very neat, organised in paragraphs, with the same font through out, making it easier for the reader.
