Feature article analysis on O-Zone magazine

Key features of layout:

· First page is of key feature is an image of Lloyd at a medium close up shot, with a banner above his head with “You think you know Lloyd”, this is like a lure to get the reader to read on and find out all they need to know.
· The columns are split into three
· The text is aligned from the left
· As there is an interview in the magazine thee are colour codes with blue and black font.
· Sans-serif font used throughout.


Key features of language/style within article:

· First letter of article is a capital “L” for the artist’s name. This is a convention that all magazines follow.
· It reads “Lloyd insists he is ready to leave his comfort zone” this sentence works well because it is talking directly to the audience as if it is a one on one conversation.
· The tone of the article is mature, simple and uses language that appeals to the target audience.
· The audience gets the tone of the artist as he is replying in the interview so his tone of voice is used more
· This is good as the reader feels closer to Lloyd as they are getting a feel of how he talks.
