Q Double Page Spread Analysis

Blog 21
Hello Everyone,

                 Today, I am going to analysis my final Q magazine, its the Lady Gaga issue. This double page spread is half and half, half image and half article. The image fills a whole A4 (half of the double page spread) this makes the artist stand out and shows she is of some significance. The image has been used to attract the male audience as she appears to wearing just a necklace and covering her breasts with her hands. Also in terms of the rule of thirds her face has an entire third for itself which draws the readers attention to her. The large red L draws the readers attention to the article, making them want to read it. Also the drop capitals within the article breaking it up instead of having a really long article filing the entire A4.

The conventions I would consider using from this double page spread would be the idea of it being half and half, which an image filling an entire A4 page and the article being on the other side, I like this because it is simple and the image and article stand out with all the text readable. The conventions I wouldn't consider using would be the use of a large letter filling my article because i think it makes the article difficult to read.
