The analysis of double page spread


This is a double page spread from the Kerrang magazine. The language used in this Kerrang magazine is more straight forward. They have used less slang so that when the older audience buy and read this magazine they can understand it clearly.
The colours used in the article are white, black, green, red and violet.
The style of the texts used in this article is simple and easy to read and they have also used bold texts for the titles.
In this spread there are 11 images which has taken more space on the pages than the text which clearly shows that the target audience are the teenagers who are more attracted to the images than reading long articles. They have also given the images of the individual peesons in the band, which will help the audience to recognise them easily. The bands have been represented in different ways. In one of the images of a band,all of them are wearing suits and are looking really formal and is taken an image as a group. Whereas the other band is represented as entairly different and are given the images of the band as individuals in their own styles. The text starts at the right side of the first page and continues on the left side of the second page.
In the Kerrang magazine they haven’t given any multiple points of entry which gives the audience to choose where to start from. There is just one starting and the audiences have to read the article from the starting as it is the continuation and they have given no choice to choose from where to start the reading.

  1. A fair analysis. I agree that this is quite an unusual article to find in Kerrang magazine because it doesn't have any entry points. What can you say about the images? How are the bands being represented? How does this appeal to Kerrang's target audience?
