Layout - It can be easily noticed that this double page spread of a music magazine focuses more on the figure than the actual contents of the information in the article. Florence, the main subject, is taking up more than a half of the double page. This technique is used to really grab the customers attention when they are flicking through the magazine, especially when potential customers are in a rush and the decision whether or not to buy the magazine depends on their favourite artist having a special article. "USA" is written in large and bold letters to emphasize who "got the love." This can also appeal to the more patriotic side of the reader.
Font - The words "got the love" are in a separate font to the rest of the writing to differentiate it from the rest as it is the name of a very popular song that was performed by the main subject of this double page, "USA" is written in a bold and large font to show what place this article focuses on. The fonts don't distract from the subject, but complement Florence is a subtle way. She is wearing black and the font colours match to create a pleasant effect.
Photography - The subject of the photograph is making eye contact with the reader to try and spark up a relation and persuade them to purchase the magazine. Florence's gaze is focused solely on the reader so that a potential bond can be created.
Text - The text is minimal, the editors wanted the focus to be mostly on the subject of the photograph. There are only three small columns of writing, from which can be gathered that the subject of this article didn't have much detail to write about.
