Connotation: Lily Allen looks like she is trying to make a strong statement, because of her short black hair which looks slightly scruffy, her dark eye makeup, her chain and her dark red, black and white shirt, she is trying to make people realise what she is saying and she is not going to change her opinion for anyone. The colours she is wearing has been used across the rest of the article, the background is all white, the title and the body text is white and her name is in the same dark red colour as her shirt which makes it stand out so everyone can see who she is. The body text has been separated into four short sections by using gutters this makes it look like there isn't as much text there as there actually is, which makes it easier to read for teenagers, which is most likely their target audience. The title is using the bold sans serif font so it stands out to capture the reader's attention, The title is a statement that Lily said herself which may make the audience want to read on to see what else she has said and what it's all about, the letters look as if they have all been cut out separately and stuck on, which looks interesting and may make the reader wonder whether she has said that and then regretted it, because when this technique is normally used they don't want the reader to find out who wrote it.
