Double Page Spread Analysis - Q Magazine



This magazine is stylised is a relatively natural way, in concordance with the Male Gaze, in terms of how men are generally represented in the media, and more specifically in music magazines. The two men in the magazine are purposely characterised in a fairly passive way, not being represented in anyway that could be presumed as provocative or 'homoerotic'. The overall style of the pages, in eterms of a colour scheme, and designed in the colours of Q magazine; Red, white and black. This simplicity is relative to the tone of the article, and the two individuals being interviewed.

The medium shot used to identify the members of 'Justice', has been used to fully describe what is going on, showcasing the various vinylls that they listen to, providing information on what music they like, for the fans appreciation. In concordance with the 'Justice's Musical Routemap, this shows the diversity of musical taste that Xavier and Gaspard share, from when they bought their first record, to the present day.

The overall layout of the two pages is fairly coherent, with the large picture taking up an entire page, seperating the literature from the image, in a simple juxtaposition. This is most likely to be relating to the mise-en-scene of the double page spread, being themed around consistancy.
