The double page spread features an interview with the artist Grace who is featured throughout the magazine. A large main image of Grace looks more casual to give a relaxed feel to the article. Additional smaller images related to the article have captions. The title, logo, and page number create consistency with other pages. The text is separated into columns with questions in bold to distinguish them from answers.
