Double Page Spread analysis (1)


The main headline is a quote from the article which suggests that it is related to the article.  Lilly Allen’s name is in red font colour, this is done so that it can deviate from the neighbouring text. The background colour used is white; the reason behind it is so that the reader’s attention is focused on the image and the article. The colour scheme has remained consistent which helps the magazine being distinguished from other magazines that will be near it on its shelf life.

The image of the artist (Lilly Allen) takes up all the space on the right hand side page and the left hand side page is all used for the article. At the very beginning of the article they have made the first letter in bigger size font than the rest of the text. The text is organised by columns which makes it easy for the reader to follow the text and digest the information.

In the image Lilly Allen has an eye contact with the audience, which means that the audience are directly being addressed, this will grab their attention. She has a firm eye contact with the reader which portrays that she is fierce and requires importance. The mise-en-scene use relates to the colour scheme because the costume that the artist is wearing has similar colours to the colours used in the article. The costume used also suggests that she more manly than womanly because what she is wearing is usually worn by men, this also means that she is subverting the stereotypical representation of the female gender.
