The double page spread makes good use of design principles like rule of thirds and the Gutenberg principle. The font, text size, and three column layout maintain a consistent house style. The large red "L" masthead relates the article to the Q magazine brand. Tight spacing fills the pages without wasted space, and neutral colors provide a sophisticated look befitting the magazine's style.
