Double Page Analysis 1

This is a a double page spread from Q magazine. It is obviously promoting Lilly Allen as she is the main image. Like most double page spreads her image takes up half of the right hand page. This is a usual convention because when the reader is browsing through the issue this immediately draws the readers attention and convinces to read the article. Another technique that is used in the photograph is that the subject is making eye contact with the audience. This creates a more profound effect on the reader because it makes the reader feel as though he's part of the article. We can tell by the way Lilley is posing that she is portraying allot of attitude e.g. hands on her hips and leaning forward like she wants to talk talk to you the reader. She is wearing casual attire, which makes her different from other artists because by being less formal she in fact relates more to the audience.

On the other side of the page however is where you will see the article. The title of the article is in bold and looks as though the individual letters have been cut out of a newspaper and stuck on to the left side of page. This is also another feature that attracts the audience to read the article below. The title of the article is surrounded by quotation marks, which suggest that Q magazine have actually had an interview with Lilley Allen, so all the information in the article is most likely true.

Moving on  I see that some of the text in the article is red, which  links with her attire. This a common feature found in double page spreads, this makes it look professional, and something that I may consider doing when creating my own double page spread. The article also has a sub-heading  which describes Liley Allens Personality. In the sub-heading  Lilley Allen is describe as a breath of fresh air. Then this leads on to the main article in hand.

At first glance the main article at the bottom of the page looks quite short compared to other features on the page, but this is just an illusion so that the audience will continue to read on. I will probably try to include this in my own magazine
