Analysis of a double page spread two.

This double page spread is from the music magazine Kerrang, it contains several images and has a very busy layout which is often conventional of a rock genre magazine. The main image is large taking up most of the left page it is also is a monochrome (black and white) image which fits the colour scheme of black, white and red perfectly. The smaller images at the bottom of the page are also monochrome to fit the colour scheme and match the larger image. The double page spread is dominated by images and there is only a small amount of text on the right side of the page; however the text is white to stand out contrasting from the black background, so the text is noticeable and will attract the audience to read it. There are also hints of red throughout the page to break up the white and black theme as red works well against the black and stands out to attract the eye of the reader. The white text box will also catch the reader’s eye; therefore they will probably read this first as it stands out more than anything else on the page, therefore the information is most likely to be important information or facts. The headline is at a slight angle which contrasts the page as the rest of the text and images are straight. The font looks slightly worn out which suits the punk/rock theme of the band, the alternative colours help to identify the most important words of the title which seem to be “ The Best MCR”. In the top left corner there is a little banner saying 'world exclusive' this makes it seem unique to Kerrang so the readers will want to read it as it seems like a special one off addition interview. All the images convey a rock theme impression to them as the musicians are all depitected with paled skin with dark hair or rock styled hair. All of them have instruments to convey their style of music. The photographs look as though they are shot live because the lighting is very harsh and appears to be from a luve music event, which is conventional of rock magazines because the mood and atmoshphere portrayed. Therefore the poses are natural poses of them rocking out whilst playing their music. The language is written is proper english and is very readable to the reader as Kerrang targets a teenage market therefore it has to be readable to that social group. Overall i think this double page spread gives you a good indication of what the article will contain, it address the reader and will appeal to its target audience as it represents the conventions of a rock magazine well.
