Research #3—Q Magazine Double Page Spread

A double page spread from the October 2010 issue of Q magazine.


Codes and Conventions

Still Graphics


The left hand page is taken up by a close-up of the featured artist, Jay-Z. The image is colourised: red on the left half, a lighter blue on the right.

The Q logo, as usual, is in the bottom left corner of the right hand page.

Written Language

In the bottom left, the issue number and date are displayed.

A pull quote is used on the left hand page, as well as a short caption.
Each section is begun by a serif drop cap.
Layered over the text is a large red J, to indicate Jay-Z.

Layout


The right hand page is split into two columns, which is conventional for a magazine article.
