Q Magazine Double Page Spread

Pictures to text ratio: In this spread, there is a near 50/50 split of text to picture.

Font Features: The main features of the page are bold (the title "Sugababes" being the obvious example of this) and so are the photographer and author for the article (Nick Wilson and Matt Allen). There are square bullet points to divide up the text into easy-to-digest chunks for the reader, which makes the article more readable. There quote central to the left hand page is also bold and larger than the rest of the text (with the obvious exception of the title, byline and text within the graphic to the top left) which highlights content within the article.

Graphics: There are multiple red "+" symbols under the text to draw attention to it. There are also small Q logos/icons in the corners of the pages to maintain a uniformity that "this is Q magazine". There are black backgrounds on the page numbers too, to make them stand out. In the top left, there is a black square with "A round with" written on it, almost "introducing" the Sugababes.

Colours: A burgundy/red font is used for the bullet points and the band member names within the article, one again, dividing up the text into chunks. It also makes it easy to pinpoint replies from individual members.

Image: The entire right page is taken up by a portrait photo of the sugababes, who are trying to be seductive and look attractive, drawing male attention. They do however draw female attention by being "pretty" role models. The dark, purple/pink colour combinations suggest an air of mystery and has connotations of a sexual nature.

Layout: As afore mentioned, there is a picture taking up the entire right side, with a small caption in the corner. On the other page, however, there are four columns separated by a quote in the middle which nicely breaks up the text and doesn't make it look like a wall of text. Above this, there is a byline/introduction to the article, which is an interesting idea to use that introduces you to the article gently.
