The use of the plug makes
this issue stand out from

The use of sell lines on the front page have been closely linked in with key
celebrates names in the music industry. By largening the font size of Liam and
Keith provides the audience with key information of what who is included in
this issue of Q magazine . The wording of the sell lines “Liam Gallagher’s Last

Liam Gallagher’s last requests were and why he has last requests.
The main image is a close up if
Adele. The image is positioned in
the central left side of the

2. Contents of magazine and page number
The magazine
The page number and titles are all down the left hand
side of the page. Each has title has a brief decryption of
what is on that certain page.
The main image the contents
page covers the entire contents
page. The image is of a famous
musician/song writer. The
audience will be able to relate
to this person and be due to his
direct mode of address.
Title and logo
is quite small
when
compared to
it on the front
page.
Date and issue number is a
common feature in

make allow the reader to
be sure they are picking up

3. On the first page of the
double page spread is a photo
of lady gaga. She is looking
directly into the camera
(direct mode of address),
therefore establishing a
relationship with the readers.
To keep focus on the singer
the use of a white
background ensures focus
remains on her.
The lay out is very easy to read. the tell is split into 3 columns with
paragraphs for different topic in a conventional magazine style for
an easy read. The big, bold capital S and I helps to split up the text
and is also a convention. This would primarily attract lady gaga fans
as it gives a deup insight into her career.
The colour scheme is
is constantly red,
black and white just
like from the
contents page and
the front cover.
There is no real title on the double page spread apart from the
exception of the artists name on the top right side of the magazine. i
believe the reason there was no large title was because it is who the
article is focussed on by jut looking at how the page layout and the large
image of the subject. The title is has more emphasis on the on the
‘GAGA’ than ‘lady’. This represent the editor felt that people could
response her us from gaga.
On the right side of the
double page spread their
lies a article about Lady
Gaga. There is a very large
Red L which takes up the
majority of the page, whilst
it covers some of the text
in a red shade. The letter L
clearly links to the artist
which the article is
focusing on (Lady Gaga).
