1. DOUBLEPAGESPREADANALYSIS [MICHAELLAMANIAGO]
Thelanguage in the standfirst is veryvivid as it describes hereyes as being ‘big
deep pools’ and wearing ‘an extravagantly nailed finger’, whichallows the reader
to clearly visualise the way Lana looks as if they weretheretoo, andthis allows for
them to feel closer to herbecause it’s as if theyareobserving her. Inan excerpt
(that will be shown in the next slide), herroom is described so extensively that it
continuesto makethe readerfeel as though theyare therewith the interviewer.It
could also help themto understand what kindof person she is from how clean her
room is, which is unlikethe hazyand hypnotic sound that hermusic possesses.
Theuse of a Serif font furtherenhancesLana as being sophisticated because the
font looks veryformal and a traditional, andwhen this is combined with
descriptive imagery, it makesit seem as though the style of the DPS is embodyinga
part of herpersonality. Thefont also matches the formal tone, which presents the
magazine as being veryprofessional. The small font used inthe article puts an
emphasis on thestandfirst, while the standfirst has a largefont that could help the
reader to prioritise as they would read that first.
Thetitle of the article, which is hername,is verysmall and tuckedat thecornerof
the page, which could suggest that herimage is uniqueand would allow anyoneto
identify who she is without looking at her,which highlights herimportance as both
an artist and a subject inthe interview.
2. Theuse of flares in the picture makesherseem otherworldly because it
creates a wall between herand thereader, as if she is showing hertrue self
whenno one can see. However, the fact that the flares are only on oneside
could also suggest that sheis slowly opening up because theflares are not
obstructing the whole of herface. Additionally, the flares create a dreamyaura
that is furtherhighlighted byhereyesbeing closed because it is as if she’s
unawarethat someone is watching her,which is whyshe looks so vulnerable.
Additionally, the shadows that arescattered all over herface and neck
suggests that she is still hiding something from thepeople or she is still
shrouded in mysterybecause thereader can’t see some of herface.
Theuse of contrasting colours (redand blue) creates anelement of duality
and suggests that Lana del Reyis not just the elegant and melancholic
personality that shepresents inhermusic; this canbe supported by the
excerpttaken from the article that shows heras someone who can be
classy but can also let out a ‘filthy cackle’that is unlikethe sophistication she
is knownfor. Thiscould bringthe reader closer to Lana because they are able
to catch a glimpse of herotherpersonality traits, and could help see heras a
regularhumanbeing as opposed to just an artist who makesmoney.
