The main headline is a quote from the text. This shows that it’s related giving people an idea of what the story is going to be about. Lily Allen’s name is also in this style which makes it stand out from the surrounding text as she is the main source of the story. The background is white and uncluttered so the readers attention is just on the text and the picture.
The picture of Lily Allen covers the whole of the right hand side of the page, leaving the left page for all of the text. The article is started off with a drop capital. The text is in four same sized columns separated by gutters which makes it look neat and tidy. The lead is positioned above the four columns of text and is in a larger text size as it is a subtitle. The shirt Lily Allen is dressed in is kind of a youthful young design showing that this magazine is aimed at teenagers and she can relate to them, her shirt also shows some form of masculinity giving us the impression that she is more masculine than feminine, more of a tomboy. She's stood with her hands on her hips, giving a bit of attitude again relating to teenagers, however her wrists are pointing up showing off her tattoo. This shows that she is quite reckless. She is looking directly at the reader connoting that she's strong and and demands attention, she looks quite intimidating which fits in perfectly with her personality as she is non-conformist.
At the bottom of each page is the page number, the name of the magazine and the date, this reminds people what magazine they are reading and obviously of the date. The name of the magazine is in the house style font and colour as it always is whilst the date is in a smaller font and is in italic setting it aside from the title and making it more easy to see. The picture credits are written in a small sized font, in bold at the side of the body copy so it is out of the way but still noticeable. Lily Allen's name is written in the top right hand corner of the page in a black box, this is helpful as it tells the reader who the article is about if they are not familiar with her face..
