Analysis of 3 double page spreads.

Tom Ames

Lady Gaga's double page spread • Lady Gaga is shown as the main image in this double page spread, her

image is probably this large to reflect her significance in this article.• The greyscale filter that has been added through editing the image gives

the article a classic and artistic style.• The image used shows Lady Gaga’s unique style of revealing clothing; this

is as she is well known for her “wacky” style and makes it easier to identify her.

• The large red “L” is a mixture of highlighting who the article is, the L signifying Lady Gaga and the red colour in relation to “Q” magazines logo.

• The “S” and “I” with a larger font holds potential significance that this is the start to the more important parts of the article.

• As it should be, the “Q” logo is displayed at the bottom right of the double page spread.

Wiz Khalifa double page spread• Wiz Khalifa is the main image of this double page spread article; this is apparent

as he is the only image in this article and he also covers half of the actual double page spread.

• No significant editing has been made to the image that can be noticed, it’s a simple a close up of Wiz Khalifa with smoke floating around the image, this itself can add an effect to the image as it makes the image less plain.

• The initials of Wiz are displayed on the upper half of the right page, it’s in the middle of a large white plain background which is for anyone who doesn’t know the rapper for appearance.

• The colour of the logo and the hat being worn by Wiz in the main image is similar to that of the logo; whether or not this was on purpose it makes the double page spread look more aesthetically pleasing.

• Similar to the double page spread analysed previously you can also see a larger font “B” signifying the start to the article, this follows the colour code that is displayed in this page spread.

Eminems double page spread• The main image in this double page spread is different to the other 2

analysed as it isn’t strictly to the left page; the image of Eminem is highlighted around a fully black background to display importance.

• The right side of the main image has a fade as it reaches the writing as to not overlap the writing to keep a professional look that a magazine needs.

• The colour scheme seems to be red, white and black as even Eminems clothing revolves around this colour scheme.

• The same larger font has been used for the quotation marker at the beginning of the article, this is obviously a useful way of displaying significance in an article.

• This content is obviously for people who are attracted to the rapper known as Eminem.
