JayZ double page spread Q analysis

This is a double page spread from Q magazine. I have chosen to mimic the conventions of this particular magazine as I am wanting to create a double page spread about a male artist. The 'J' in the background of the text is conventional to Q magazine, the letter symbolises the first letter of the artists name. In my magazine I may chose to do thing - it depends whether I chose to do a more conventional layout like this or a more unconventional challenging double page spread. On this page the quote has been laid on top of the picture instead of in between the text. I will not be copying this convention in my magazine as I liked how the quote broke up the text slightly in the previous articles I read. This article looks intimidating and a lot to read so would put some people off for reading - especially those in the target audience I am aiming at.

Title font

Today I went though numerous fonts on the Internet using the website dafont. I have decided I want a large bold serif font for my title as it has to stand out on the page and fill the required space I have designed for it. I have not yet chose a font but after looking through this website I know what I want it's just a matter of finding it.
