We've been looking at single page spreads in magazines, and the article are based on the same artist. Little Boots.  And we've been looking at conventions of magazines.

Mixmag VIP



 NME Radar



The image from mixmag seems to describe Little Boots more, it shows her personalitiy and her environment.  Little Boots is a musician and so having a keyboard, recorder, tambourine, headphones and a little notepad sums up and makes it obvious that she is a musican and a songwtiter.  Whereas Little Boots in NME Radar, it seems more proffesionally taken, her hair and make-up are exaggerated and the pose that Little Boots is in makes her seem much more confident than her in Mixmag.
These two articles are based on the same person, but the way in which the article is written makes it seem like they are two different people.  In Mmixmag, it starts off with a little factifil of Little Boots, the paragrapghs are much smaller, and the article itself is simply quite factual.  But in NME, there are much more quotes from Little Boots herself.  It also has a lexical field of space, (words including space, galaxy, space cadet).  This summerarises what kind of music genre she represents. 
The layout of both magazine are similar in a way the main focus is the image, and so the image takes up most of the page, and the article is only a small column.  The article in NME looks more little a little pop up as there is space around it, rather than "stuck" to the side of the page like Mixmag.
