Analysis of Magazine Double Spread

This magazine double spread is of Lady Gaga and her image is the main focus. The uppercase “L” is for her name and the writing will no doubt be of her music career and quirky lifestyle. The main colour focus will be the red in the background of the text and the black and white photo of her which looking at the

picture is most likely for older men and women. The retouched photo also makes her seem in some people eyes unspoiled as she doesn’t seem to have any spots or facial scars this could be down to the use of Photoshop.

This is the same design as the one above with some obvious changes. The picture has been changed to contrast the red and white theme. The uppercase bold “J” is to show the readers that it is Jay Z famous rapper in the world of music today. Unlike the picture above the editor has written a quote from him in the picture which may be

inspirational to his fans and people who listen to his music. The title ‘The most exciting people in music’ will undoubtedly be about his view on people in the music industry that he has come across as a rapper and music producer.

This article on Ed Sheeran ‘I’m bringing ginger back’ has the main colour theme red and white. Combining red and white together in a mixture would be ginger which is what the editor might have wanted us to see. The choice of title is also an anagram of Justin Timberlake’s song I’m

bringing sexy back; this could mean that in Ed Sheeran’s eyes ginger is a ‘sexy’ look and the article may be about his diverse style of music, fashion and lifestyle. The background of London also shows the place where he was brought up and is happy about his origin and wants his fans to know this.
