This double page spread features the singer Lana Del Ray in Q magazine February 2012. The right hand page uses 2 columns to display the article beneath a strapline mentioning her name. As we can see Q has used its own housestyle as the magazine frequently has a large letter in the article usually representing the person they are interviewing. However in this double page spread the large letter represents the start of the interview so in this case the “S” represents the “She” at the start of the interview. This large letter can be well recognised by the audience as it is the same font style as the “Q” for Q magazine.

The font used in this double page spread is serif. Also the text used in the interview uses drop caps to insinuate the start of a different paragraph/section.

There is a balanced ratio of picture and text in this double page spread. This gives it an appealing look and doesn’t look too daunting to read either.

The image on the double page spread is quite dark and mysterious by the use of lighting and the make-up she is wearing too. The shot of Lana Del Ray is at eye level but she isn’t making eye contact with the reader which connotes a sense of enigma which almost persuades the reader to find out why she is being so mysterious.

The layout of this double page spread connotes a feeling of relaxation as there aren’t a lot of colours used so it doesn’t look too busy. The plain white background with the black text (and with there not been that much text) also connotes relaxed feel. This sort of contradicts the image though as they connote tow very different feelings.

This double page spread features the singer Claire Boucher in NME magazine. The right hand page used 3 columns to display the article beneath a headline stating the name which she is also known as. This double page spread uses a quite informal mode of address as it

includes some swearing but it is suited the genre of the magazine and to the people who read the magazine too.

The image on the double page spread fits in well with the headline “Grimes” as Claire herself is looking very grimy. In the image it looks like she is wiping the “grime” off which could suggest that maybe she doesn’t want to be known as this sort of character. The shot taken of Claire is a medium close up this enables the audience to see any facial expressions and any body language within the shot.

The font used in this double page spread is serif. Also the text used in the interview uses drop caps to insinuate the start of a different paragraph/section.

There is a well balanced ratio of image and text in this double page spread, which makes the double page spread clear and easy to read. If there was too much text some readers may be put off reading the article as it may look to daunting to read.

The colours used in this double page spread are mainly black and white, which add to the “grime” effect. However there is some use of colour with the images at the bottom of the page and the quote from the article in the pink circle. This use of colour gives the article some life as if it was all in black and white it could look very dreary and boring to the reader.
