This issue of Q occurred one year on from the issue featuring Lana Del Rey, and shows a considerable difference. The layout continues to maintain an image on one page, and text on the other, however the text page has a different plan, with the article looking utterly classic, feminine and beautiful. This gives connotations of the artist as this confident and classy woman, who is stunningly beautiful. The difference between the layout of both issues directly addresses the connotations put forward and changes them in relevance to the artist and what ideas they want the audience to take from their article/portrayal.

The typical features included are again, the artist name, to inform the audience of who they are looking at/reading about, allowing them to make connections with their songs and their character. Page numbers are visible, but only on the left hand page with no text whatsoever covering the left hand page. This could relate to the importance of the image and therefore, the connoted importance of the artist. The Q logo is placed next to the page number, making no difference from the other issue of Q and creating this idea of a consistent theme within the overall magazine, itself. The issue number is printed alongside this, adding this recognisable and informative element, and the subscription link is, again, available in the bottom left corner of the right page, in the case that the audience like what they are reading and would like to receive constant issues, without the effort of going out to buy them. This makes it easier for the reader, whilst also creating a guaranteed income for the magazine company.

In terms of the actual image, a close-up shot is used with the artist, Lady Gaga, appearing in an invitational pose. This close-up shot allows the audience to gain a fairly close view of Gaga and creates this idea that the article leaves her with no where to hide, as if she is an open book, and portrays that Q work to get you information on every aspect of the artists that their readers love, putting the magazine across in a positive way. The invitational pose creates a mysterious effect and invites the artist to find out more about Gaga, and read on. Furthermore, the image is sepia, allowing the red 'L' to stand out, in the same way that Gaga and her music does. The effect on this image also looks very mature and classic, portraying Gaga as wise, elegant and glamorous.

Additionally, in relation to the text, the large 'L' for 'Lady' is very visually attractive and causes the audiences eyes to dart to the text. Alongside this, the artist's name at the top right-hand corner places 'lady' in italics, as if to put emphasis and femininity onto this word and connote her as, almost, royalty. Whereas, 'GAGA' is placed in capital letters, emphasizing this declarative adjective and putting forward this idea that she is gaga, and therefore encouraging the reader to want to know how. Repetitively, two paragraphs begin with a larger letter, placing a continuous effect on the text, and causing the reader to want to find out where the letter leads to. The text is in a traditional column layout, maintaining this classic and old-fashioned look.

Finally, the colour scheme of monochrome/sepia against red links in with the colour scheme of Q, but also highlights the 'L' as important and draws attention to it, in a similar way to how the audience view Gaga, and her music, as important and worth drawing attention to. The colour adds this pop and brings in various connotations surrounding boldness, as Gaga is utterly and evidently bold within the music industry, sexuality, relating to her lack of clothing and her famous crazy outfits, portraying comfort in her own skin, as well as high-class, surrounding her glamorous appearance, highly juxtaposing her brutal honestly within the actual article.

The overall layout of this Double Page Spread features a image that covers both pages, which I find a positive aspect to the article, and would definitely consider using in my own magazine. The main feature of the image, however, is pushed to the left hand side of the spread, with the text 'USA' being placed behind the model, this relating to her bringing her music to the USA, and the way in which is in joined with/within the USA, like the image/text coordination. The text behind the image also pushes the artist forward and centralizes the attention on her, portraying her with a very solo image, whilst also directly addressing the way in which she is discussed within the article as the centre of attention.

Although, the typical features aren't particularly visible, this double page spread maintains  page numbers, the artist's name in the top-right hand corner, in similarity to Q Magazine informing the audience of who they are reading about, whilst also making them familiar with their stories, so they can apply these ideas/the artists character to their songs/lyrics. The magazine name is in the bottom right, adding the personal feel and reiterating the magazine's name. Also, the text and image credits and considerable visible beneath the article title, which I believe is a very important feature in order to recognise and address who put in the time and effort to do the research, take the images, interview and create the article.

In relation to the image, the shot maintains a red, white and black colour scheme, with the red element relating to the artists hair and the USA flag, portraying this image of similarity and togetherness, with the artist being new to the USA and being accepted etc. The shot is  medium-long and allows the audience to view a full-body profile of the artist, adding character with the way in which she sits and looks towards the camera, intensely and directly addressing the audience with an invitational pose. This adds an element of mystery, and portrays the artists to look comfortable within this mysterious and intense atmospherem encouraging the reader to want to know more about her, therefore pushing them towards reading the article.

The text element of the magazine employs a large font stating 'USA', relating to the flag and whereabouts the artist currently is. It also includes a use of targeting the american element of the audience, and makes them feel included and informed in relation to the artist. The title is also a play on words with one ofher most popular songs, creating a recognisable effect, also meaning that if the audience do not recognise the artist, they may recognise the song. Like Q, the article begins with a larger letter, maintaining a similar effect and encouraging the audience to read on. It is also evident that the introductory paragraph ends in a question, leaving the audience curious.

The colour scheme of this article includes a black and white theme, with this pop of red highlighting attractive and important elements of the page and draws the readers attention to these aspects. Red maintains strong, and high-class connotations, portraying ideas along these lines about the artist and her lyrical themes.

The layout of this Double Page Spread employs an image on the left page and text on the right, creating an equal balance, which is found visually pleasing by the audience. This also creates a double page spread that is easily navigated and does not create a crowded effect. The article as a whole appears very elegant and classy, which reflects the artist that the article is based around, Lana Del Rey, whilst also putting across ideas about her character, as well as the personality of her music/lyrics. The elegance of this article portrays Del Rey as a high-class woman, with an elegant and soulful musical genre.

The article itself maintains basic conventions, for example, page numbers (informative, very useful for if readers would like to jump from contents to a certain article, important convention of a magazine), the artist's name (relative mainly to articles, especially double page spreads, allows the reader to be fully aware of who they are reading about, clear), the magazine name in either bottom corner (often seen in only one of the top corners, reiterates the magazine name and adds a personal touch, informing that the article has been constructed by Q magazine), issue number (to inform audience of which issue they are reading), social media links (causes the magazine to be interactive with the audience, modernized, allows the magazine to cover various platforms and reach a wider audience), and a magazine subscription link (allows the audience to read the article and if they like what they are reading in the article as well as the magazine as a whole, they can purchase a bulk of magazines to be automatically posted out monthly, simple for audience, guaranteed continuous sale).

In terms of the main and only image, it incorporates a close-up image of Del Rey, allowing for an intense image due to the close-up shot making the facials features and therefore the facial emotions very apparent and visible. It is evident that Del Rey's pose falls into the Chocolate Box category. This is due to the slight seductive parting of the lips, and a large emphasis on flawless beauty, portraying the model as perfect with a slighty sexy elegance. The pose is utterly feminine and showcases the beauty of the artist, whilst also connoting ideas of her music and character through this beautiful imagery. The artist appears in a dream-like state, maintaining a high-class look of femininity and beauty, hinting that Del Rey's music is classy, beautiful and feminine.

The text element of the double page spread immediately strikes the reader with the large 'S' covering the majority of the page. It is apparent that the 'S' does not stand for anything to do with 'Lana Del Rey' or her off-stage name 'Elizabeth Grant'. This creates an element of mystery within the reader and causes them to question where this 'S' leads and what follows it. This leads to an almost poetic observation of Del Rey and creates a beautiful opening to an article on such a beautiful being. The rest of the text employs a traditional column-layout allowing it to be easy to navigate.

Finally, in terms of colour theme there is a generally use of black and white, adding to this classic look with a use of a monochrome text page. In relation to the image, there is a use of blue and red reflecting on either side of the artists face. This could generally relate to the heat of Del Rey's character alongside that element of coolness. Ambiguously, it could relate to this idea of a angelic and demonic side, and the internal conflict of choosing a side. Also, it could be suggested that these lights may be coming from city and traffic lights, relating to this artist's fast and non-stop life in the spotlight.
