I have analysed this two page spread as i felt it would be useful for when i design my own. I can look at the structure and graphology.
The image used shows Shakira sitting in a studio working, indicates her working on her music. Smaller pictures are scattered of her in the She Wolf music video and another of her body with her hand used as a claw, these pictures break up the text and makes it more interesting.
Headings used "access all areas" makes people want to read on as it gives connotations of exclusive and backstage gossip.
I looked at a double page spread of an article from Q magazine, this is very different from the Doves article. This is about a single artist "Shakira" and reviews the singer explaining how she has produced her albums and explaining that there are a lot more to come. Talking specifically about her new song "she wolf", you can see this when the artical states "key players on She Wolf include Williams, Wyclef Jean and Santogold collaborator John Hill, each bringing sophisticated beats, soulful ballads and super-charged electro-pop to the party." Which shows how well thoughtout and planned this track was; showing Shakira's desire to appeal to a wider audience.
This article then changes in to a interview format when Shakira says "I used to be a shy girl, but hey i'm 32 now and i feel compelled to express my thoughts and feelings in a way i might have been more afraid to do in the past." This shows an insight into her life and makes readers feel it is an exclusive interview.
Then they use advertising format saying "The track is due for release as the album's first single in september". This is used to inform the general public about the track and when they can buy it.
