Threecolumns have been used and they are all aligned perfectly on the left hand side of the columns. There are no hyphens used throughout the text so it is easy for to read and is more professional. The font colour stands out against the background and is clear and easy to read. The font style is plain and simple and therefor again is easy to read. He font size is small however is not too small that it is difficult to read, just small enough so that a lot of information is able to fit in.
The purpose of the smaller masthead in the corner is to maintain a brand identity throughout the magazine and also to maintain a house style.
The purpose of the photograph is to catch peoples attention by making it large and bold. The photo is of the artist so that you know who the double page spread is bout before they read it. This will make sure that anyone who is a fan or is interested in the artist is likely to read the interview following the image.
