Analysis of Two Featured articles.

Kerrang!

The first featured articles in analysised was a Kerrang! articles which written about the band Linkin Park. On the pages that Linkin Park are featured has the same background throughout although the picture page that contains a title and picture which covers two pages, has a little introduction piece to the band. The articles over the pages includes 7 pages and quotes from the article dotted on the pages but in larger font, this may be because it attracts readers to the page. Also the background to this article is like a metal material which in a way reflects the bands genre of music, I check other featured articles and this seemed to be a theme in the Kerrang! magazine, but usually it may have been a colour or an effect such as flames.

NME

The featured article is this issue of the NME magazine is based around the band 'Arctic Monkeys'. The pages that this article is featured on all have the same background with pieces of interviews with the band members cut out and put on the side of the page. The featured article has 8 pictures of the band which is more than Kerrang! which is a surprise because usually the Kerrang! magazine would have more pictures. Also the NME magazine doesn't have a large picture of the band on the front page, unlike the Kerrang!'s which featured a two page picture of the band in the article. This NME magazine also has large title for the article which takes up atleast a quarter of the page and underneath this title it has a kicker giving a bit of insight to the article and it gives readers a taste of what they can expect.
