- 3. ANALYSIS OF WRITTEN ARTICLE The article itself is basically about Dizzee Rascal and his appearance at the NME photo-shoot. Dizzee Rascal is shown to be a “diva” asking where his name is on the graffiti wall. The article then goes on to comment about his awards that he has received in 2009. The style of the article is very friendly and chatty. This style makes the audience feel like they are actually there at the photo- shoot and feel like they are part of the whole interview with the audience. The article is written in to four columns with approximately 75 – 100 words in each column so that it is easier to read. If there was too many words on the page then this may turn away the reader from actually reading the article and causing them to skip the pages and not read it. The main heading/headline is quite dramatic because they want it to catch the readers attention. By making the heading the size of half a page the heading stands out. “FROM TAGS TO RICHES” is a play on words with “from rags to riches” so that it gets in to peoples minds.
