The image is a mid shot of the main modal, she is dressed in clothing the same colour as on the front
cover keeping to the colour scheme. Her pose results in her looking powerful suggesting she is a
powerful musician.
There is also a smaller location shot on the left side of the page, this shows the main modal again
however to be what looks like filming for a music video possibly. These shots show the audience that
she is clearly the main feature.
Layout
The layout of the page is pretty simply, all the text is to the left of the page and the image is on the
right. The heading is the artists name, followed by the main article with the large letter being a ‘C’,
this also happens to be the first letter of the musicians name, providing more evidence to how she is
the main focal point. Then there is the main bulk of the article, include a pull quote. This is the
standard layout of a ‘Q’ double page spread as you can see in these other ‘Q’ magazine issues:
Article
The article is introduced with the typical convention of the large letter, it also starts with the musicians name. There is a small main heading of ‘Cheryl COLE’ however then the articles carries straight on to the main
bulk of the text.
Text
The text integrates with the images in many ways, the article describes how Cheryl Cole is a strong
independent woman and this is exactly what the pictures indicate. There is also a pull quote that reads:
This particular quotation implies that as she is so popular and well known, other people are always
choosing her style and her looks. This also underlines how she is a huge artist, its almost as if the
magazine is boasting about how they have such a huge artist featured in their magazine.
Colour Scheme
The colours are consistent throughout the whole magazine,
it has kept to the main colours of red white and black, even
the modals costume has kept with the colour scheme.
Other Information
There is also still the consistency of the title of the magazine,
the page number and the date on all the pages that I have
analysed.

The main image is Adele, the main modal and musician, she covers over half the double page
spread. The image has also been manipulated into black and white, this gives quite a dramatic
effect. As the main image is so large it emphasises how big she is as an artist is also emphasises
how the main focus is on her.
There are no other images on the page, this results in nothing distracting you from the main
image.
Layout
The layout consists of the main heading being ‘The Triumph of Adele’ then this is followed by a
subheading, then the bulk of the text starts, similarly to the other magazine I looked at.
Article
The article is introduced with the typical convention of the large letter.
There is a small subheading, it is almost a pull quote as explain how in
the article is ‘the biggest pop-music story of all time’. The subheading
is separated from the article by a small black line, then the article is
introduced.
Box-Outs
There is a box out featured in the double page spread, it states ‘Women Who Rock 2012’ This
extra piece of information does still relate to the main article as it is about powerful women, it
even relates to how large the main image is as is shows women as being powerful.
Colour Scheme
The colours are consistent throughout the double page
spread, it has all been designed in black and white. In my
opinion I love this colour scheme as I think it looks
professional and tidy. It also has a high contrast that gives
the double page a more of a dramatic look.
Other Information
There is also still the
consistency of the website, the
page number and the date on
all the pages that I have
analysed.
Extra Graphics
The text wraps round the edge of the main image, this forces the article to seem more involved with the image and it links the two together. The same effect is given as the main
heading is in front of the image however you can still see both clearly, this also makes the text and article go together further and makes the double page spread look linked.
The titles heading also uses alliteration of ‘the triumph’, this language technique captivates the audience and urges them to read on.
