Annotations of double page magazine spreads



Main image: They have used a close up of the top half of Lady Gaga's body. This is to emphasise her body language and facial expression. It is a very posed and laid back image. The way that she is posing with her hands across her best shows that she is showing her feminism to the audience and that she is not ashamed to be posing how she is whilst wearing minimal clothing and posing with a very sexual and intriguing look on her face that draws the audience in to the image which then draws the audience into the article as well, this means that the main image doe sits job to  help advertise the text. Her hair and make up has been done in a 60's style to attract a wider audience and also to show her individuality as an artist as nobody else has their hair and make up like this so this then expresses her individuality as an artist and her individually as a person. 


Columns: 3 columns in a simple layout that are all exactly the same and this then gives the page a classy style and layout. 

Drop cap: The drop cap of the 'S' attracts the audiences attention towards the text. 


Main image: The main image is a full body shot of Cheryl Cole. This then advertises her figure and the clothes that she is wearing. Also the clothes that she is wearing are very high end fashion, thesis interesting because she has been made to be very sexualised so although men will look at this and say that she is a very stunning icon, women still want to buy these clothes not only for the attraction from men because the men do not even know what kind of fashion they are or how high end fashion they are they just think about how good Cheryl looks in them. Women often buy these high end fashion items more to impress women that to get the attraction from men because as men do not know much about high end fashion whereas the women will know what makes an brands she is wearing and then therefore want to buy it to impress other women.

Columns: As the columns are the exact same size and shape this gives the magazine a classy look.

 Drop cap: The drop cap of the 'I' attracts the audiences attention towards the text.






Main image: Attracts the readers attention and also because it is a different colour scheme to the others, the college of the other images also attracts attention to the main image as they are smaller than the main image so the eye automatically goes to the main image. As the main image is a non forced or non posed image it gives the picture a much more relaxed look, this then makes the fans feel that they are with the band and that they are getting exclusive footage and images because they are just casual pictures of them on tour just being themselves so the fans feel a lot closer to them and feel as they are getting information that nobody else is as it is not about the main things that they are doing it is about extra non-exclusive things that they are just doing as a band.

Columns:The columns are all about the same size so this then gives the article a classy look, also the quote in the middle of all of the text draws attention to the text within the magazine.

Drop cap: The draw cap on each of the new paragraphs draws attention to the different parts of the article because they are a different size and different colour they make the article look more 'indie rock' like the band that they are talking about which is good because this then means that all of the magazine article has the same theme.
