Textual analysis, Double page spread 1


The two main subjects of this double page spread is the iconic sign, image of Lady Gaga on the first page and an enlarged 'L', spread across the second page. At first sight, these are the two things that you see first as they stand out the most. With these two things and the text at the top, 'lady GAGA' it's immediately obvious to the reader who the double page spread is about.
   The shadows and highlights of the image have been enhanced and made the image look more dramatic, relating to the posed positioning Lady Gaga is doing. She's not wearing much clothing- you can tell she's nude at what you can see but her hands and necklaces cover her up, making it appropriate. Her hair is curly with volume which again makes it more dramatic with a sense of age and old films. Her facial expression also enhances this as it's posed.
   The text of the image is in 3 columns with a big letter L over the text. This links in to the story about Lady Gaga. It's bold but is transparent enough for you to be able to read the text over.
