Double page spread 1

The Double page spread has a large picture which takes up lots of dead space which shows that the artist is important. In the top right of the second page it says 'Access all areas' this is an alliteration so easier to reader for audience and also that Q has an exclusive conversation on the artist and it methaphorically means they are a VIP which implies they go and get information which fans normally dont get, therefore people may want to read the article more because of this. The heading 'Danger! Shakira at work' is a play on words from danger buliders at work, this implies that the article Shakira is producing music and the picture highlights this.

Her pose is unnatural and she is clearly posing for the camera, she looks made up and glamorous and also quite vulnerable yet sexy. This contrasts to the more natural, laid back and everyday typical Shakira in the main picture. This particular article appears to be aimed more at women as it shows Shakira as an admirable powerful woman and the second picture, although she is naked, she is not exposing herself or trying to be particularly sexual therefore she does not look subservient and seems to stand up for women.

The commanding word ' Danger!' Gets the audience attention and may suggest that watch out competition and haters, Shakira is making brillant music that you should listen to. Most readers will just flick through the pages and only digest the pictures and headings, soo by showing a quote from the article it attracts the reader to the article due to the quote identifies the main, interesting part of the article. The picture has a large depth of field which shows the audience production material in the background which demonstrates and implies she is hard working at her job, and indicates what the text is about. We can tell that this article is aimed at the female audience due to they can relate to the teaxt because the smaller picture is her in a more glamourous photoshoot whilst the other, main photo is here at work this contrast shows that sterotypically women have to sides to them, working at their day to day job and getting dressed up to party on a night out.
