I picked this double-page spread to highlight the difference in layout from my previous deconstruction. This is from another successful magazine, Kerrang.
The first major difference is how both pages are intertwined. The Q magazine allocated the left page to the photograph and the right to the text, and although that proportionality is applied here, it is less distinguished. For example the headline bleeds across both pages and the background of the main image is used as the background for the text to show continuity. This layout also enhances the scale. Although it is not physically bigger, the way in which the sections are spread out helps to give the page organisation and is less intimidating to the reader.
