Q's article on Lady Gaga immediately
caught my attention. The layout of not only the photo, but the article itself was so neat and presented well. I liked the way the main photo takes over
one whole page, and how there is a header and footer on the top and bottom of the page to indicate who the article is about, and what the page number is. The use of a drops cap before each paragraph also caught my attention, as it indicated when a
paragraph ended and
when another started.
The Florence + The Machine NME double-page spread from 2009 again got my attentions. Like Q, the main picture takes up
half of the double-page spread layout, therefore gaining the readers attention immediately. The use of
drop caps in a different font compared to the rest of the text made it clear where the article started. And the photo represented
what genre of music Florence Welch was apart of, due to her clothing, posture, and hairstyle.
The NME article of Lily Allen in the early stages of her career represented her attitud at the time. The posture, fashion, and article layout showed her teenage naive ways and
abnoxious attitude. The way the
pull quote takes up half of the page I didn't really like, but how the layout was, with the blck background to
emphasis the quote I liked the idea of. The large drops cap aswell also kept with the theme of the article. The
bold colours made the whole article stand out, compared to Lady Gaga's and Florence Welch's.
