My article is about an up and coming Grime and R 'n' B artist. I am going to us the question and answer technique which i think will suit the magazine as it gives the readers information on a new artist which is what i found that people like when they pick up a magazine and that is what they expect in a magazine as it gives inside information on artists so that they can compare themselves to the artists of there choice. The article is going to based along the fact of coming from a mic in his room to making it big on stages, which gives the magazine a sense of reality as it makes people think anything is possible so that they will not give up on there lifetime goals.
The style of my magazine will suit my target audience as i will use language that suit the genre of music with like an Urban Slang which i will use from the front covers that i researched. The language tends to be pretty simple and the use of slang is used with words like "MAMA" so i will use this kind of language so i won't be able to use sophisticated language this will not appeal to the target audience. Words to do with the music industry can be used for the article but tend not to be in this genre of magazine as they are often advertised on a separate page. Therefore, from this i will try and avoid using these but it may tie in well with the article so i will use them if i have to.
There are 196 words in a similar article used in VIBE this is an article about Drake, who is an established artist and still they do not used lots of words as the dominate the DPS with a photo and have very little information. In a paragraph there are 127 words in the similar published article. On average, there are about 16 words per line in this article.
I will make my article title grab attention as i will use a bold font for this to make sure that it grabs peoples attention. My title will be "Over.Dunn by The Famee!!" I will use a colour of font that will stand out off the background. Which will make the title of the article stand out and grab the readers attention.
Olly, the grime and R 'n' B artist know as "O.D." was once a small time artist pleading for concerts, stand ups and mini-giggs. After 5 years of learning rhymes and focusing on getting it right he finally had a break through through the social networking site "MySpace" to which he was posting lyrics, videos and music which has allowed him and his closest friends to take in criticisms and positives. The story will be a question and answer on how he feels about making it big on the big stages asking things like about his personal life, giving a scope on how he has done everything and what persuaded him to take on the music business and make a success of his talent. I will not use play on words as i feel it will look more professional if it is an interview situation.
The beginning of the article will sound important as it will address the reader directly as it will be a question and answer. I will make it exclusive by making it about an exclusive new artist who has made it from writing lyrics in spare time and being a no-body to a star who has a choice of where he wants to perform and who he wishes to perform to. I will make it so that people want to read as it will give an inside view of what it is like to be followed by paparazzi everywhere.
I will try and make my article as interesting as possible, to do this i will try and make my interview as fun and full with interesting information as possible. Although i will have more important things at the start as it will introduce the artist and have a brief explanation of what he has come from and throughout the interview i will find out what he would like to do in the future. I will give them an insight to what will be asked in the interview to make them want to read the full interview i will advertise the DPS slightly on the front page with a small picture located in the top 3rd of the page situated in the right 3rd of the page which will have a slight snippet from the interview to intrigue people into wanting to read more about this artist.
For the ending of my article to have an impact i will put in a range of gigs in which the artist in the DPS will be doing throughout which will get across the impact that this new artist is having. Which will have an impact on the reader as it will make them want to go see this artist to see if he lives up to this hype which would boost the sales of this artist which is what i would like to happen. The intentions of the interview is to find out that this guy has made it from nothing and it will prove that anyone can become a somebody who has there names among the modern stars of today, which will also make people want to show people what they are capable of. The interview will also show that this guy is still in touch with where he comes from even though he has made it big and that fame doesn't turn people arrogant and make people forget where they come from.
