I like the way the image takes up the whole page, it makes it seem less daunting to read. It also draws the reader in.

Like the contrast between the text and the background. It makes it stand out

I like the way the model in the image is looking straight at the camera, it makes it look like they are looking at the reader.

I like the way the main artists name is highlighted in another colour to the rest of the text.

I like the use of incorporating pictures into the text

I like the way they have put the actual questions in bold, to make it stand out and easier to read

From the beginning of the interview they make it clear that it is a Q+A to bring readers in

I like the contrast between the artist and the setting. The setting looks quite grand, which is unusual because the artist in the image doesn’t stereotypically look like someone that would perform or go to a place like that. It makes the image stand out.

I think the issue date as the footer works well, as it helps readers to keep track on what issue it is, and it also fills up the blank space

I like the watermark in the background I think it makes the page look less boring, without taking attention away from the rest of the text

I like the pop of colour the flag and the artists hair bring to the page, it makes it seem less plain, yet still simple

I like the use of different fonts for the header and main body of text. It makes the header stand out but it also makes it look like more of a sophisticated article

They’ve started the article off with a question to themselves, this is rather intriguing which would make people want to read on.

As this is an American magazine, the addition of the American flag shows their patriotism, which might fair well with American viewers

The colours used are quite dark, this colour scheme would go with an indie magazine

The fact that the artist is shown smoking connotes that it is for adults, incorporating the dark colours it looks like it would be aimed at men aged between 18-35, because the team member they are interviewing is from quite an old band, which would appeal to older readers.

The props in the image connotes the age of the artist and the band, with the polaroid image and old fashioned wallpaper

The use of a pull quote, grabs the attention of the viewer

I like the way they’ve added the credentials of whose in the picture, and where the clothes he’s wearing are from.

I like the way they’ve highlighted the drop capitals, however I think the blue looks slightly out of place on the page

I like the boldness of the font, it makes I clear to read but it also fills in some space on the page making it look less empty

I like the simplicity of the image, with the artist being the main point

I like the grungy looking background I think it adds to the connotation that comes with growing up, that nothing stays perfect forever

I like the brightness of the main bits of text in contrast to the artists clothing and the background setting

I like the small range of colours, the colours that they have chosen, connotes that it’s a pop magazine

I like the use of a footer, which has the magazines website and usually the issue date
