They have amiguously used the quote as a pull quote and to appear like a masthead. The use of ranged font size creates the illlusion of collaged newsprint. This style was used for death threats and black mail and the fact she is talking about being an "attention seeker" could suggest emphasis of this factor. The contrasting black and white also complement this idea and continues Lilly Allan's punk style accross the double page. The drop cap used in the article appears to be a strip of the collage continuing this style even further.
The main image is a medium close-up, we can can see Lilly Allan in a tartan shirt with her sleeves rolled up to 3/4 and her hair short black with dark eye make-up. This conotes punk and her hands on her hips shows hidden attitude. Her head is turned towards the quote which makes it look like she is saying it at that point.
There are 4 equal sized columns on the bottom left page which covers left to right. The writing is ordered to make it easily readable for the audience. The bold, red words are to link the colours of Lilly's shirt on the right to the left page, creating continuity and a clear house style. A small introduction is above the article to show the audience what the article is about before they read it.
Summary of Anlysis
From analysing this double page spread i have leared how to show hidden meaning in a picture and how to visually lin a main image to a oull quote. I have also learned that a pull quote can be doubled as a masthead. Finally, i have learned how to use interesting fonts to create hidden messages and continue house style and theme.
