-The footer is one of the final things that the reader sees when scanning down the page. The features of this
footer are similar to the main coverline in terms of colour scheme as it to follows the colour scheme set by the
main image which in this case is black and white. The content of the footer is similar to the header as it just
informs the target audience of the content which in this case for this magazine is the bands/artists involved in this
issue. These are put on the cover as one of these artists may peak the interest of the target audience which
could convince them to buy the magazine.

Main Title
-The appearance of this title on the
right side of the page really reflects
the naughty, trouble making tone of
the article. First of all the font of the
title follows very irregular letters next
to each other. By doing this it gives
the page an informal look as it looks
as if the letters have been drawn by
a young person in quite a casual
informal fashion. This suits the article
as the it is a look back at the
childhood of Dizzie. The font is almost
reminiscent of the style of writing
which is adopted by graffiti artists,
which uses quite irregular shapes to
present letters, which is also similar to
the irregular nature of the font.
Because of this the font, the title
directly associated with other graffiti
symbolism on the page. The main
image best presents this symbol as it
shows the model actually performing
graffiti. The font is also linked to the
title itself as it mentions the word
Tags which as mentioned before is
slang used for describing the mark
left by a graffiti artist.
The positioning of the title also
echoes the informal message which
is given. This is done by making the
words in the title overlap and not
done parallel to one another in a
formal manor. By doing this It creates
the child like effect created by the
irregular lettering which as said
before is reminiscent of the main
page image and the article itself.
The title of the article does give the
target audience the general theme
of the article. The wording of this title
allows us to understand that the
article is a look back at the past of
the start Dizzie Rascal. From tags to
riches shows the reader that the
article talks about the rise of the star
as you can connote that Tags
makes reference to a low social class
(bad quality of life). Then there is a
progression to riches which can be
assumed means a higher social
standing in society (better quality of
life).
