Most main features of music magazines are interviews with a band or singer, so they are always credited with at least a double page spread for an interview. There is always one big picture, usually taken in the studio on the same day as the interview is conducted, so the picture is exclusive to the magazine, as is the interview.
This is also effective because the picture can directly relate to the interview, for instance in the picture above of Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas. The rest of the band is in the picture, but they are washed out, as though Will.I.Am is actually alone. This relates the headline "Will he, wont he?" which is about him quitting the band and going solo.
On the selling line underneath the image you usually have a quote from the interview, or in some occasions (like the interview shown above) the interview has its own title.
Certain quotes are taken out and made bigger, a different font and/or bold as to attract the reader to the most revealing parts of the interview.
The interview usually continues onto another page that has un-exclusive and maybe iconical pictures. (if there is any of the particular artist)
