Music magazines have consistent styles across their front covers, contents pages, and double page spreads: - Front covers feature a full-body shot of a famous musician looking at the camera, along with the artist's name in large text. - Contents pages list sections in the left column, showcase artists' photos in the middle, and promote articles in brief text at the bottom. - Double page spreads center around a large photo of the featured artist with quotes and questions from an interview surrounding the image. Details about the artist's life, career, and upcoming work are discussed.

7. Double page spread - Both double page spreads
include a picture of the
subject, which would take up a
large majority of the page. The

- I have looked at quite a lot of double page spreads and they are
all very similar to these two, all double page spreads will write
about an interview that has been taken place a while ago, and
include a picture of that artist that will always take up most of a
page.
