The image of the band takes up the nearly the whole page and it has been positioned on the left hand side with the texts on the right hand side which has a simple font to it and has been structured out well, so it prevents readers of getting mixed up.

The light colour of the background stands out well also red is the brightest colour on the page and it will bring audiences attention , the colour red on the silky cover matches with Florence's hair.

The size of the font is small enough to fit onto the page. The text starts with a big bold capital letter and its in black, this makes it look professional and it stands out to let the audience know that this is the beginning of the article.

She looks straight at the camera with a gaze this it the way she communicates with the audience.
