Double Page Spread Analysis


Language- This double page spread has an image of Lady GaGa, the camera shot is a medium long shot and she is looking directly at the camera to address the reader. The heading reads 'She's the man', this is a 'dig' towards Lady GaGa because at the time of publishing there were lots of rumers flying around about GaGa saying she was a man. The main colours for this spread are red and black, these colours represent power but black can also represent dark, gloominess, like she has a secret...
She is wearing not alot on the top half and has her arm covering her breasts, she also has skin tight trousers on this shows she is dressed seductively.  There is also a small bit of writing to get the readers attention and draw them to the interview which will be on the next page.

Institution- The institution of this magazine is Q, which is published by Bauer Media Group.

Ideology- The idea of this spread is that because of the rumers, they are stirring up the rumers. They also put her in a seductive outfit to stir up rumers as to if she is a man or woman. She also has her hand in the lower area of her body also so stir conflict as to if she is or not.

Audience- The target audience for this magazine would be Lady GaGa fans, or for any one interested in that genre of music or interested in the rumers flying around about her, because of the many factors it will hit a wide ranged audience and will attract more people.

Representation- The double page spread represents its target audience by using images and features that relate to the genre of music the magazine is about.
