This double page has a main image of the rapper Wiz Khalifa, in a close up shot, taking up the entirety of the left page. 

As he is male, the audience targeted would be of that gender too, and they may aspire to be like him. Therefore, the image would intrigue them as they'd want an insight into their lives, which is information they'd gain through reading the article.

He has direct mode of address which includes the reader and makes them feel as if they are able to interact with him.

This makes is clear as to who the article is about.  

The genre of the magazine is rap because of this. 

The smoke in the image would appeal to people who have the same habit of smoking as they have something to relate to.

 Alternatively, it would attract a younger audience who smoke to fit within a social group and perhaps, do it for the wrong reasons.

Even though he is covered with clothing, the reader can see the tattoos he has on his neck which is an additional interest of many hip hop or rap followers.

The title is 'how high?' As it is in the form of  an interrogative, it engages the reader and makes them think. It is in bold, making it stand out on the page. It connotes to narcotics, influenced by the smoke in the image. This suggests the target audience would be of a mature age, maybe above eighteen, as they're more likely to smoke than anyone younger.

It promotes his logo with the letters 'WK' in very tight letter spacing so they combine. The colours here are yellow and black which goes with the theme as it matches the hat he wears. As it takes up a lot of the page, it is one of the first things the reader notices and recognizes.

The layout of the article is organised into two equal columns, making it look professional and it invites the buyer to read what's there as its minimal yet aesthetically pleasing. 

The article has a stand first. 

The B is in yellow so the theme is ongoing throughout the pages.

It gains the reader's attention as it is in a different font and colour so they know where to start reading as there's a clear separation of text.

The colours used are black white and yellow. 

The backgrounds being plain black and white means the text and images stand out, grabbing the reader's attention.

Q Magazine

The main image is of the rapper JAYZ, indicating the genre is rap too. 

The background of the main image is different from the others as this time, it fades from red to blue. This creates interest and draws the reader's attention to the image. 

This time there is no clear direct mode of address, creating a block between the reader and the magazine. It connotes that some secrets may be revealed, however, as it could be seen as it's him hiding, so it still intrigues the reader.

Stereotypical for a rapper, he wears chains which goes with the genre.

There is a capital J on the background of the article's text which relates to the rapper's name and shows that the two pages are related so the layout is clear for the reader.

It is in the background along with the block white colour so it is hard to avoid. 

As its mainly central, it doesn't disturb the layout as it's still easy to read.

At the bottom of the right page, the magazine's logo appears, reminding the buyer that the magazine comes from there.

Colours used are red, white and black which is typical of this genre.

A quote is used on the main image in red text. 

This was placed over his black shirt to make it more visible.

It gives an insight into the artists views and opinions so it gives background to what the article will be about.

It's in sans, implying the topic is serious and means a lot to him. The effect of this is that the reader knows to prepare for a deeper text.

The stand firsts have a sans typeface, indicating it's aimed at an older audience as it connotes formality. Placing this in a generally informal magazine could mean the subject at matter would be difficult for younger people to understand or relate to. 

There is a caption in the lower left of the image where it says:'Better red than dead'. Underneath, it also gives background to the shoot, like the date it was taken. "
