Exploring a feature article

In class we have analysed the linguistic features of a Kerrang! article as well as layout and conventions to help inform my own work.

We've read through an article thoroughly about The Used. The article uses images where props such as medical things like an injection and also hospital like clipboard and trolley, these types of thing link well in with the band and the lead singer as we see he suffered from things such as depression and drug use. The side bar is still relevant but a bit away from the point of the main article this helps break up the text. The linguistic features such as the inter textual references are used cleverly to help us link the images and texts etc together. The article switching between question and answer format, I think this is effective because it is like a proper conversation and is factual.
