Lana Del Rey Article Analysis

   Q Lana Del Rey 
Last year in a Q magazine there is several double page spreads about Lana Del Rey as she found herself in the music industry. The article appears to aim at a female target audience, probably older teens- young adults age range. The article appeals to women more as it discusses Lana's outfits and make up in the Q photo shoot. She wears a 'white crop top and jeans' seems to be an element a female audience would be interested in. There is lots of intense description used when explaining her facial features, 'the epic pout' and 'big deep pools of her eyes'.
The first letter of the article is nearly the length of the page, and half the width. Often the first letter of a magazine article is larger than the majority of the text but this article has the first letter majorly over exaggerated. The letter fills in white space of the page without having any other photos than the main photo of Lana Del Rey; the one photo draws all the audiences attention to Lana. The title of 'Lana Del Rey' is small part of the page, the words seem irrelevant to the large image of Lana which is more useful in defining who the article is about. The image of Lana is very colourful and contrasts with the opposite side which is bland with just black and white colours.
