This double page spread uses several codes and conventions: (1) the image bleeds onto both pages to be the dominant feature and attract attention, (2) a small information box describes the photo caption, and (3) a stand first gives readers a brief idea of the article. Additional elements may include the band's logo, quotes from band members, drop caps to guide reading order, the writer's name in small font, and a large headline.
