Research- Double page spread 1

• At the top of the page is a very large title that spreads across both pages. It is in two different colours so it stands out and is attractive. The black and red colours are very specific to rock genre. The title tells you immediately what the article is all about
• There is a very large black and white image of an artist. It is the focus point and it anchors the main article. In most pages i have seen all include several pictures. This picture almost takes up one half of the spread. It makes it a lot more interesting and would make the reader take interest in the page
• The maim image of the artist has been taken from a low angle and is looking up at the singer. This makes the artist look dominant and very important
• There is quite a large amount of text but the language is informal. The font is white,on a black background so it is easy to read and stands out. The text is all in the top half of one of the pages and is surrounded by images. One section of the text is in a white,rectangle shaped box. This makes the text seem more important than the rest
• This page sticks to the same house colours of the front page and contents page and would be easily recognised as part of Kerrang! magazine. The background is very dark and all the images are in black and white. This is specific to the genre. Parts of the text are in red. This jumps out at you off the black background.
• The language used is very direct towards the readers. It would make a reader feel like they are involved. The language is also being used to advertise the artist. Powerful statements like "The best" and "exclusive" are used for emphasis
