The lead article “im almost embarrassed at my age to be as angry as I am” is to evoke an illicit response from the audience to be empathic to his problems. This is a good lead article as it allows for emotion to be transferred in its pages. The double page spread is written I n three long stanzas and has many literary features to make it cunning to its audience. It features many examples of repetition and alliteration making it easy to read but memorable it also has many examples of antithesis and anaphora giving the article support from its readers and creating dramatic devices in its context.
Tone: the tone is informal and is designed to give the audience an amount of enjoyable content to read.
Register: the register and syntax is well written and it is fluent throughout. It also has aspects of direct speech and has authorial comment in its narrative.
Purpose: the purpose is to evoke empathy for the artist and does this by allowing him to tell his story in a very explicit way.
The titles font is bold and is in black which could be examples of symbolising mourning something? The font is also put in front of a back ground image in which the opacity has been lowered thus making it enjoyable to look at and showing sophistication in context.
The main image is a long shot and has a sinical theme. The man has his arm out and has written on it “is rock and roll dead” this accompanied by the facial expression shows Sinicism and an unsure feeling amongst the reader. What I did pick up on which is most peculiar is that the image is on the right side of the page rather than the left. I find this strange as now the article is what readers see first.
