1. Critical analysis of a
Radar magazine article.

2. Here the use of the large block
capital slab-serif title
immediately informs the reader
on what the article is about and
does so in a clean, clear way.
The use of the drop capital follows certain
conventions of a magazine article and also
places emphasis on the beginning of the
text.
Line spacing-fairly standard
Freehand style font on sticker
-informal and ‘indie’

3. Here the use of geometric sans-serif font for the pull quote makes
it stand out from the bulk of the text whilst also corresponding to
the simple, professional and clean look that the rest of the layout
has. Here, the letter spacing is different to the ‘Everyone’s talking
about...’ header. the spacing is much closer together on the pull
quote. This could be to give a more natural feel and not detract
from the large header. Also the large spacing used for the header
allows the white text to stand out nicely against the black
background.

4. The title of the article has been put in bold - increases the
impact on the reader aesthetically and emphasizes the fact
that it is the main title of the article. This also tends to be
the first element of the layout (apart from the main image)
that attracts the readers attention.
Clever use of colour to make certain words stand
out from the normal black, white and grey text.
This draws the reader’s eye and places emphasis on
the subject, in this case Alex Turner.

5. Comparison

6. In contrast to the previous article this is more flamboyant and elegant approach to typography.
Similar to script style font
Monospaced font which contrasts nicely
with the main title of the article. This is
also similar to typewriter which could
have retro connotations.
Quite a high line contrast
Drop capital used (possibly Rockwell style)
