Analysis of "Q" double page spread







Looking at this double page spread we can obviously see that it is an article written all about “50 cent” and on one page there is writing all about him and on the opposite page there is a picture of him. The picture shows an extreme close up of just his face of him looking directly into the camera this is a strong picture of him as his facial expressions show this. His eyes are looking quite scary as they stare into the camera, this is to show that he is a strong man. The language used in this article are a mixture of formal writing and informal writing, for example “hell” this is a slang word and we can see that it isn’t proper English as they have shown the word in italics, also below the main heading there is a tag line which says “the artist also known as Fiddy” this is also slang words and it is showing the viewers what he also calls himself. Although most of the text is in proper English they are not speaking very formal. There is also an enlarged quote on the opposite page. This says “getting shot didn’t hurt as much as you’d think.” This show a quote of which he has obviously said. 

Although you can’t see a full picture “50 Cent” he looks as though he is dressed in a suite with a white shirt underneath with a hat on. The text is basically speaking all about 50 Cent and when he was a guest on a talk show etc. The magazine has used an enlarged quote at the beginning in the style of a rhetorical questions this is to draw the readers in more when they are skimming through the magazine. The magazine has used simple black font, however have used a different colour blue for the name of the artist, this is to make it stand out more. At the bottom on the left hand side page there is a little logo of the magazine this is to remind the readers of the magazine they are reading. There is also page numbers this is so that it is easier for the reader to know what pages the specific stories are on.
