The layout of this double page spread by Rocksound magazine is laid out so that the main image of the band that the article is about is covering most of the page. The band covers the entire right page and spreads across some of the left hand side. The article text wraps around the shape of the image, making the text look good and fit well on the page.

DOUBLE PAGE ANALYSIS

The shot has been framed in a mid-shot by using a high angle camera shot, as the band members are looking up at the camera. They are looking into the camera, which creates a connection between them and the audience.

The language used in this double page spread is down to earth and ‘common’. There is a use of swear and slang words used by the band making them seem more down to earth. The typography used is simple and bold, making it clear and easy to read. The heading of the band’s name stands out from the rest of the text as it is a different and brighter colour from the rest and a different font style.

A pull quote is used within the main body of the article and uses a bigger font size in bold so that it stands out clearly to the audience, grabbing their attention to try and convince and interest them in reading the article.

A slogan is used underneath the band’s name, which aims to interest the reader and convince them on how good the band are which may encourage them to read the double page spread article.

The article in this double page spread is short and kept in one column. This may also lead to the audience wanting to read it more as it is kept short convincing them that it is quick to read and that it informs them of the main point of the article.

An introduction paragraph is used at the top left of the page and is made bold and with a highlighted background; this stands out

clearly to the reader and is presented in a creative way to introduce the audience in whilst making the appearance of it

interesting.

Drop cap is also used for the first letter of the article making it bold and stand out to the audience.

DOUBLE PAGE ANALYSIS

Drop cap is used at the start of this Kerrang! Magazine double page spread, introducing and starting the article in a creative way and making it bold and stand out well to the audience.

On the right hand side, a different section, which still relates to the band the article is about, is found which includes reviews on the bands new songs. This is interesting for the audience as it involves a lot of information provided on one page, without making it too cramped and with too much happening. It remains laid out well and creatively.

This article is about a band and their progress and news on their work and music making within the studio. They talk about the making of their new album and what to expect. The images used on the double page spread link well with the information in the article as it shows each of the band members whilst in the studio recording music. The main photo which covers the whole of the left page shows that and represents that the band member is the lead band member as he is the main focus. His face is hidden by his hair which gets the audience to focus on the fact that he is holding onto a microphone, representing to the audience straight away what his position and role in the band is.

The layout of the double page spread is effective and clear for the audience to interpret. The article has been centred in the middle of the right side page; it is in two columns suggesting to the audience that it is short and informative. Smaller pictures are used at the bottom of the page and layering on top of the main image which are anchorage to the article.

A pull quote is used as the header of the double page spread; this is effective as it is most likely the first thing the audience will read and attracts their attention straight away getting to the main point and focus on the band.

An introduction sentence is used underneath the pull quote giving the reader a quick idea of what the rest of the article is about whilst convincing them to read it.

DOUBLE PAGE ANALYSIS

The header of this magazine is really bold and stands out clearly, catching the audience’s attention straight away. The word ‘now’ is strong and demanding, suggesting the importance of the article and encouraging the audience to read it.

Strong colours are used in this double page spread; the use of the colours grey, black, yellow and white is successful as they all contrast well against one another, making the page stand out well. The white text of the main body stands out clear on the grey background, making it clear and easy for the audience to read. The use of yellow for the header is also effective, as it is the brightest and colourful colour used which attracts the audience’s attention.

The name of the band is used in a banner at the top left of the left side page; this informs the reader clearly on what band the article is about.

A pull quote from the band is used further down under the main image on the left page, showing the audience a key and informative quote from the band that may interest them in reading the rest of the article. It includes the name of another band which may encourage people who aren’t fans of the band to take an interest in them.The main image is of the band and it covers the whole of the left hand side of the

double page spread. They are represented in a casual way, in a group showing all of the band members. The lead member is focused at the front of the group, focusing on all of his features and with his tattoo facing nearest to the camera as it is a key feature of a rock/punk style. He is also shown with the most dramatic and bold facial expression from the rest of the band which also focuses most of the attention on him.

An introduction paragraph is used at the start of the article with the most important words highlighted in yellow.

DOUBLE PAGE ANALYSIS

The header of this Kerrang! Double page spread is also a pull quote from the band. This is effective as it informs the reader straight away about the band. The quote is a key piece of information from the band that has been pulled out as it is something that will interest the reader without giving too much away… this makes them want to read on more within the article.

The main image covers the whole double page spread, being used as the background. The band members are focused mainly on the right side but it spread a little onto the left side too. They are looking straight at the camera, creating a connection between them and the audience. They are posing in a natural way suggesting to the reader they are down to earth.

A banner is used at the top of the left page, which informs the reader that the double page spread is of a news article. The text ‘news’ is in bold, which makes it clear and simple for the audience to see.

The layout of this double page spread is simple and clear and easy to read. The main body is placed at the bottom of the right side page and is placed into three columns which is a typical convention of a magazine double page spread.

An introduction sentence is used underneath the pull quote, introducing the audience as to what the rest of the article is about without giving too much away. A drop cap is used at the start of the article to introduce the reader in a bold and creative way.

Simple colours are used within the double page spread; black, white and red are the only colours used, apart from the ones in the image.
