Q double page spread

This a double page spread with a image of Billy Idol from Generation X on the right hand side. The punk icon Billy Idol's pose and aesthetic image portrays a scruffy, rebellious, daring, edgey expression which conveys the personality associated with a punk singer. This rebellious ideoloogy then appeals to an audience of anti-authority rebels among the teenage age group all wanting to follow this idea of disobeying
authority. Also portrays the "do it yourself" concept which shows the lifestyle of experimentalists and creatives as hes not seeking status through work but through hes image created by themselves which may go against the typical norms and values of bands in society.

The image is carefully placed on the right hand side of the double page as its where the readers eye engages with as they turn the pages of the magazine persauding the consumer to read the article.
The colour scheme used for this cover is mainly black, white and grey with the image also being black and white as these dark simple colours are assoicated with the punk genre. The font of Generation X is in a photocopy font which may represent hes life being shown to the public through the media. There is also a badge above the title " the class of 77" which shows the period of when Generation X was first around and how this style of music "punk/rock" was being heard and becoming more popular. Also the badge and paper clip relates to the style of punk as of the edgey rocky style.
The layout and the design of the left hand page is columns with subheadings which not only makes it more easier to read but more interesting, Q have chosen to have the text in this way to keep the target audience of teenagers engaged in the magazine, and easy for them to follow.

Q have created an edgy style to reflect the ethos of the magazine by the dangerous feel, as of the paper clips, the font of the title  'generation x' which shows a do it yourself element.
