This is a double page spread from Q magazine, showing the feature interview of the issue. The large image shows the laid-back attitude of the band, therefore foreshadowing the nature of the interview.The band "Beady EYE" are a new band bought together by Ex-Oasis' Liam Gallagher. This is important as it is newnews so is likely to encourage the reader to read the article. The title, "What EYE once was" is a spin-off of the name of the band, which is highlighted by the change in colour of the word eye to red as opposed to black. This is inkeeping with the colour scheme, and therefore the house style as the colours black, white and red are continued throughout each issue. The title is against a white background, making it bolder and more noticeable. The picture of Liam Gallagher overlaps the title of the interview, suggesting that he is the most important factor of the interview. The image also has three pugs, featuring captions to aid the reader in understanding the picture. The pugs include information on each of the other band members, suggesting that the reader already know information about the lead, Liam. The pugs are all formatted in the same way; they are red with white writing andin the shape of a speech bubble. This is effective as it implies that the information has come directly from those band members.
The interview outlines the band's history before Oasis, and Liam's experience of Oasis. As Oasis is an extremely well-known band, it is likely that the reader will want to read this interview. A drop-cap is used to being the paragraph; it is bold and black, and highlights to the reader where the interview starts, making it easier to know where to read from. The style and font of the interview is easily noticeable, due to the bold font used for each question and the initials of the artist that is answering the question in bold and at the beginning of the answer.
At the end of the page, it is clear that the interview continues by the three red arrows after the last paragraph. This shows directly to the reader that they need to turn the page to continue, and that the interview isn't finished.
This double page shows how Q magazine continues the house style, through Cover page, contents and features and articles.
