This double page spread is from Q magazine and it is obviously focusing on Lady Gaga. We can tell this because of the medium close up of her on the left hand of the double page spread takes up half of the article which shows that this photo has significance. She is also wearing an outfit and posing in a way which would entice readers which find the female form attractive. The editors of the magazine have ensured that the article has some arousing and sexual content as this sort of stuff sells. The photo has been digitally edited to make it black and white.This means that the whole double page spread focuses around three main colours; black, white and red. These colours anchor the genre of Q magazine.
Lady Gaga herself is presented to the audience as being multi-genred, as she is well known for her pop music yet also being more than able to sway into a more of a rockstar sort of role. This picture reflects this as she has very dark heavy eyes and she is wearing chains around her neck.
The enlarged vibrant red L which is featured behind the text, links not only to Lady Gagas alias but also the colour of it anchors Q magazines style. There is no title to this double page spread, only a full A4 photograph of the artist and her name displayed in the upper right hand corner. This entrigues the reader and draws them in as they must read on further if they're to find out what exclusive information Q has on one of the most famous women of the moment.
The first inspiration double page spread is from music magazine Kerrang! I like how one of the two pages is a full image of the band as the reader can have a clearer picture of what the band look like. This is something that I would like to do in my double page spread so my audience know what the artist looks like. I also like how the colour scheme is kept, with the colours red, black and white as it looks more professional and neat. The layout of this double page spread is very organised and the text has been structured together so that it is easy for the reader to follow. All together this double page spread is successful and has acheived it's overall purpose and audience.
