The document analyzes a double page magazine spread about an artist. It notes that the spread uses an unconventional layout with mostly images and large typography. A monochrome color scheme with red accents is used aesthetically. The left page features a large greyscale picture of Lady Gaga in provocative clothing. The visuals and layout are meant to attract readers and represent the artist's passion for music and country.

1. Double Page Spread Analysis
Zoe Ramsdale-Clark

2. The title of this article is extremely
disjointed but fits in extremely well
with the person who has quite a
grungy look.
The set up of this double page spread is not one that
is commonly used as there is not much written on the
page, it is mostly taken up by the title and image of
the artist that it’s about.
The artist
who is the
main feature
is someone
who is
extremely
well known
in the music
industry, the
clothes are
quite
minimalistic
suggesting
she is
someone
who does
not care too
much about
their
appearance.
The
monochrome
colour
scheme is
something
that fits well
with the red.
The red is
used to
highlight the
key parts of
the double
page spread
such as the
name of the
artist ‘Lily
Allen’ and the
writers name.
By having the monochrome
with the red, it is aesthetically
pleasing rather than
something that clashes.
There is a large ‘I’ at the
beginning of the article
which highlights the start
of the article.

3. The large L which covers the majority of
the double page spread article
highlights that the article is about Lady
Gaga. The colour of the L anchors the
logo of Q magazine.
The large S at the start of one of the paragraphs
suggests that this is the start of the main part of this
article.
At the bottom right hand
corner of the page, the
logo of the magazine is just
visible highlighting what
magazine this is.
The left hand
side of the
double page
spread is
covered in a
picture of
Lady Gaga
who is
wearing
extremely
garish and
provocative
clothing
which is what
she is well
known for.
The person in
this picture is
obviously of
high
significance
as she takes
up the
majority of
the page.
The picture
has ben
edited into
greyscale
which makes
the picture
seem more
artistic and
classic.

4. The elegant calligraphic typography is extremely feminine
which fits in well with because artist who this involves is a
female.
The large USA in the
background highlights where
she comes from.
The provocative
clothing in which she is
wearing and the eye
contact which she holds
with the audience helps
to gain more readers.
The serious look on her
face suggests that she is
extremely serious about
music.
She is sat on a large USA
flag which highlights the
patriotism of the artist.
Red is an extremely bold colour and signifies passion and fire
which could connote the artists passion for music.
