In each of these double page spreads it is seen that a common theme is to have one full page for an image of the artist and the other page full of the article itself. also it seems common to have a giant letter in the center behind the writing in a bold colour; Red this is because it links to the house style of the front cover and the masthead as the masthead is on a red background. The letter seems to be the first initial of the artist or band e.g L for lady Gaga and J for Jay-z.The font always seems to be the same from the cover to the double page spread.
The size of the font doesn't seem to be any bigger than 11pt.
When the article has ended a common theme seems to be that a bold black line is placed beneath it to signify it has ended.There sometimes seems to be a quote from the article on the picture in bold red writing but it isn't on all issues.
This all creates a house style because it shows common themes throughout each issue of the magazine making these particular things be expected by the audience and if these things were not always included then it would be seen as peculiar and the magazine wouldn't have any theme.
