  1. 1. The image of Lady gaga represents maturity and sophistication. The image is very mature. However, this is highly contradicted by the fact Lady Gaga is representing an image that shows soft porn. The content of the image shows chains and no clothes. This will attract the most of the audience which is strait men. The image is all black and white and on the right page of the double page spread is the large, vibrant L. These colours are seductive and the connotation is sex, and love. The colours also link with the genre of the magazine. While the image and the facial expressions of Lady GaGa are very seducing, the black and white theme of the image are also extremely seductive, once again, this will help to attract the target audience of strait, English, white men. The image also shows a lot abut Lady Gagas personality with the wild hair, this could also once again link to sex, this would also attract the target audience.The image background is similar to the colour of the image and bends in with the image. The background is plain and this will stop attention being taken off the image.There is no title on the page, only the name of the artist written in the top right hand of the right page. This could attract the audience and makes it clear who the article is about. GAGA is written in capitals as this is what she is known as by her fans and is the name that people recognise. It is the most important part of her name so is most recognised be people. The brightly coloured L that covers the writing on the right page of the two page spread stands out and is the only colour on the page which makes it stand out. It is also the same as the Q which is the masthead, and is on the front cover of the magazine. This links the double page spread with the magazine and it is clear that the magazine belongs to Q magazine. This also breaks common conventions found in articles. This links in with the style of the magazine that is going against rules and being free willed. The large L also makes it clear who the article is about and is attracting and might make people want to read the article because of this.The article has not title, subtitle or pull out quotes, Only an A4 image (the main focus) and Lady Gagas name in the top right of the right page. This makes the magazine seem exclusive and the audience will want to enter this and they can only do that if they read the article.Like most other double page spreads in Q, the article ends with a red square with a white Q inside it. The logo of Q magazine. This reminds the audience that the article is in Q magazine and is imbedding this into there brain. It represents the brand identity and they are reminding the reader of the magazine.
