The document summarizes the design elements of a double-page magazine spread. It notes that a consistent color scheme of blue and yellow is used throughout. Abstract shapes are added randomly to complement the blue. The band image spans both pages and conveys a vintage style matching their music.

The text is more orderly but includes one abstract shape to link it to the design elsewhere without distraction. The spread may be for an opening 4-8 page interview.
