1) The contents page of the XXL magazine features a pull quote from an interview with artist Jadakiss as the masthead. It also features a large photo of Jadakiss matching the red and black color scheme. 2) A double page spread in Vibe magazine features a long pull quote taking up half the page to entice readers. It also includes a full page photo of two artists dressed for the hip-hop genre. 3) Both pages effectively use large images and pull quotes along with bold formatting to draw attention to key articles and maintain the magazines' style in an engaging layout.

5. Double Page Spread
Vibe Pull Quote – The pull quote from the article is extremely long and takes up
half of the page. This was chosen as when the reader is flicking through the
magazine it will catch the eye of the reader and entice him to read the rest of
