The article is a review on Coldplay written by Johnny Davis. It spans three pages of the magazine Q and includes interviews with the band members. it focuses on then performance's of Coldplay at Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester on Thursday, 11th December 2008.
The Title; 'Coldplay' was located in the top left hand corner of the two page spread. it is simple and doesn't stand out very much.
The photograph is long shot of the main singer of the band taken from behind. It has been taken from ground level and is showing the crowd looking at the band performing which is important as the reader can see the faces of the fans watching and it also shows the wide age group which this band appeals to. This is an action shot also which is important because it shows what's happening and the reaction of the audience. There is a spotlight that contrasts with the lead singer and most of the remainder of the photograph is in black. The picture is a full A4 page and is the main focus of the two page spread. There are also a quote from one of the bad members, Chris Martin; "Deep Down you know your band will never be as good as Oasis. Maybe we could come second?"
At the beginning of the the first and the last paragraph on the first page the first letter of the first words are in bold and in a big font and therefore they stand out off the page it is done to make the article stand out and to make the audience read the article because the first letter stands out so it makes your eye draw to the first word. The Language used in the article is 'adult language' and The language used is informal as they use swear words this is done because the reader's are fan of Coldplay and by writing like this the audience feel like the band is like them and they can relate to the band.
