Q Magazine double spread

The first page of the Q Magazine is shown above. On this first page of the Q Magazine double page spread:

• The page is very in keeping with the tone of the magazine's red theme throughout showing the colour red across the two pages of the double page spread, as we see here in the name 'Xavier de Rosnaay' and the illustration box telling us who is in the picture.
• The box in the top left hand corner above the main image is also very useful as it tells us the people shown in the main image from left to right, which will be used for us in the q and a part of the double page spread on the second page.
• The magazine is a men based magazine story showing the men as un pristine and effortless in the picture.
• The quote "I loved that Snopp Dogg was wanted for murder" which engages the audience in finding out what that perhaps controversial comment will be about when they read the next page of the double page spread, it also fills in the white gap between the two men in the picture, this is a good use of space.   
• The main image shows the two men (two disc jockeys) who work together as a duo looking at old vinyl's and looking at the camera almost caught off guard for the picture. They aren't wearing pristine clothing so we can tell the magazine is for mainly men as this is the target audience. The main part of the double page spread is the main image.

• Q Magazine house style on the Headline shows red and uses graphics to draw attention. The red is iconic and the graphics will help people want to read this article.
• Drop capital as it starts with the H and follows on to the rest of the word, the H is used in white lettering with a red background.
• The sub heading is the name of the band 'justice' that is also in red, keeping with the tone of the overall magazine.
• In the lead introduction paragraph they use the word 'crap' colloquialism the language we speak to make us want to read it, informal relaxed and registered.
• They also use bold writing and normal text to separate the questions from the answers.
