This document summarizes and compares the layout, design, and style of two magazine double page spreads - one featuring Lana Del Rey from Q magazine and the other featuring Lily Allen from NME magazine. The Lana Del Rey spread uses a solo image of her that takes up the entire page in a sophisticated style. The Lily Allen spread similarly uses a solo casual image of her, but in a more striking pose, to draw attention to her image over the plain white background. Both spreads utilize a limited color scheme fitting their genres, but the Lily Allen spread incorporates three different fonts and emphasizes the headline to appear more modern and creative. Overall, the Lily Allen spread uses design elements more effectively to highlight

Main Image – this is a medium shot of Lily Allen from NME magazine. She is standing in a very strikingposition
and the directmode of address shows an intenseexpression for the audience with a bit of her smileshown. She
looks very casual on her top which also followsthe colour scheme of this doublepage spread. Her messy hair
and dark make up also follows thecolour scheme of NME and also to make the layoutof the double spread
consistently,also her position shows tough nature and femininity insideher.The image takes up the whole right
page of the doublespread and slightly takes up the center left of the page. Just likeLana Del Rey from Q
magazine, it is also theonly image on this double spread makingher the center of attention in this articleand for
the audience to know that this is abouther which may persuadeher fans to buy this magazine. Her casualty in
this spread will makethe audience relate to an ordinary person rather than a celebrity which makes itdifferent
story with Lana Del Rey’s double spread.
House Style – the house styleof this double spread is similarto Q magazinebecause they use the colour
scheme of red, black and white. This colour scheme fits into the conventional styleof an indie/rock genre. The
background was plain and white and so it’s different from Lana Del Rey’s background which is dark. This is made
to drawthe attention to Lily Allen’s image. We can see that there are 3 different fonts used to make the article.
From the headline,to the subheadingand the article. The headlinetakes up almosthalf of the spaceon the left
page of the doublespread which makes modernity, creativity and emphasis on the thought of the headline
itself.The overall impression for this doublespread is artistic and appealing,effective use of designs areused to
highlightthe important bits in this double spread to make the audiencebe entertained whilereadingthe article.
Guttenberg Design – as we look through the primary optical area in this double
spread,our attention will bedrawn on the headlineitself,as we can a starting
quote. As we go through the readinggravity,it’s either we will bedrawn to the
subheadingor justthe casual top worn by Lily Allen, as we go to the terminal area,
justlikein Q magazine, we can see the page number, the iconic logo of NME and
the issuingmonth of the magazine. Goingstraightto the strongfallowarea,we can
see Lily Allen’s hair styleand make up, which makes the audiencestare ather for
some time. And lastly,as go through the weak fallowarea,we can see a bit of the
text about the articlealso thepage number, logo of NME and the issuingmonth.
Headline - there were no languagedevices used in the headline,justa proper noun ‘Lana Del Rey’ to let
audienceknow that it concentrates juston her. No special features but is very useful in defining that the article
and the image is aboutLana Del Rey. This may or may not be the main titleof this article,but it is the only one
separated from all of them. Just her name which is very odd when itcomes to double page spreads.
