The first thing that jumps out straight away on this double page spread is the giant red letter "L". I personally find it distracting and think it draws away from the content of the article and would make it hard to read, however it is very striking and engaging and paired with the grayscale photo of Lady Gaga. The layout is very stylish and elegant, with the fonts they've used which contain serifs, this contrasts with the semi naked/revealing/ provocative photo of Lady Gaga, this sends out mixed messages. The camerawork featured is a medium shot of the subject, just showing her top half.
The black background on the quote match with Lily Allen's very striking eye shadow and black hair. The double page feature is mainly used by the large photo of the subject. Her red shirt matches the colour of the secondary font colour. Most of the font is black as it stands out on the white background but some text is red.The large quote is made to look like a newspaper headline and its purpose is to attract the reader to read on and read the whole article. The camerawork used in this photo is a medium shot covering her top half and the subject's pose is showing an attitude.
The title of the article stands out the most and is in a Serif font, the colour of the question mark matches the colour of her sunglasses. The white box in the centre of the 3 columns highlights a specifc engaging quote extracted from the article, the 3 columns are also formatted around the white box breaks up the solid block of text and makes it easier on the eye. The colour scheme used in this double page feature is again simple, very slick and stylist with just the use of black and white with a hint of colour, in this case it's a light blue. The layout is somewhat cluttered with a lot of content featuring on the left hand side but with just the medium shot photo. The subject in the photo is looking up and to her right which is inline with the headline of the article, by her looking that way the audience is also drawn to where she is looking (the headline) which grips the audience.
