It features all the main conventions of a double-page spread including: a large picture, pull quotes, bold text and drop caps. It also follows a clear house style and colour scheme that matches the rest of the magazine.
The large red 'J' in the background of the article, combined with the large close-up image which takes u a whole page, makes it immediately quite clear who the article is about.
Jay-Z's serious facial expression and use of props also makes it immediately clear that the article is likely to focus predominately on serious matters rather than light-hearted ones.
The pull quote on the picture is bright and eye-catching and entices the reader to want to read the article because it appears as interesting.
When I come to producing my own double page spread I hope to create a similar article but with a more fresh 'urban' style, rather than a more conventional one, in order to match the house style of my magazine.
