The double page spread uses consistent colors with the rest of the magazine to maintain branding. An interview with the band The Rockabees is featured, with the artist's answers in normal text and the questions bolded to distinguish speakers. A drop quote in orange font is used to draw readers' eyes to the next page. Magazine details are included small at the bottom for reference without distraction. The spread follows conventions like featuring the cover artist and using typographical elements to guide readers through the layout.
