Also one page in this magazine has a big bold quote bleeding through the two pages as well uniting the pages together and also it takes the reader’s attention to it. This is because it is bold and big and also it is a controversial and attention grabbing quote.

The typeface of the text is quite jumble and in different sizes reiterates the story or the article. By making some of the letters big within the words shows that the title or the headline is also trying to be an ‘attention seeker’ similarly like what the headline says.

They make the letters at the start of some paragraphs big, which is the drop capital for example in this magazine they have made the letter ‘I’ big so that it adds to the style of the magazine and in this double page spread it shows where the reader should start reading.

The date is next to the page number in this and it is on the page where there is a picture.

They have done the same type face technique to the big main quote that is on the picture with the stand first. For example they have used an underscore instead of spaces with in the words.

They have added a stand first which includes the journalists’ name on it and it describes what the article is all about. The colour of the stand first is red because they want to continue the colour scheme throughout the double page spread.

They have matched the colour of the background of the image on the double page spread with the quote that they have put on the article to break up the text which makes the article more inviting and interesting to read.

They have put their quote there and they haven't put it on top of the text. Their layout of this page focuses more on showcasing the whole band therefore they have shown the members at the top. The purpose of those images are to also construct columns in which they have arrange two columns per page. They have out columns on pages so that it is much easier for the reader to read.

The image still dominates the page as half of the double page spread is dedicated to the band’s image.

The image of the artist is that they are directly looking at the camera to shows they personalities and to show themselves instead of a picture of them performing. As this is also an article that is dedicated about them and not a review they would require to put the band’s full face image on the spread.

Kerrang Magazine Double Page Spread

Page 8: Presentation18

This is Kerrang’s double page spread where they have used a black background and white text. They have done this because the two colours are contrasted so the letters are more legible.

They have also done this so that they are able to utilize this to bleed the monochrome image of the band performing through the two pages.

They have used the red, black and white colour scheme because kerrang usually uses red in their magazine and also they have frequently used this colour scheme in their previous issues before.

They have used one page of the double page spread and they have dedicated it with images of the band performing and they have also got sub images in the page where the main article is written. The images usually anchors the article which it does because the images are My chemical romance and the article is about the band.

They have also got a main big quote in different typeface and colour than the article . This show that they want to make the double page spread took attractive to the reader ; also to make it look interesting and eye grabbing.

As quotes or headlines are usually either controversial or sentimental, in this case they have used a sentimental quote from the band.

They have put an emphasis on ‘The best MCR’ to show that they are the best and it puts more importance to it by emphasizing it.

They again used a drop capital of the letter ‘M’ to guide the reader where to start reading.

They have also used a stand first to shows what the article is all about however at the same time it shows that it is an article about their experience with My chemical Romance by Kerrang magazine.

They have also used text boxes with a black fill background and white text to annotate the image and they are text that would help the reader understand what the images are about.

They have also used a banner or a separate section for reviews of their song which is included in the double page spread as well. For this they have used white for the background so that the black writing is legible and this sets it apart from the black background and white text layout.

In this double page spread they have also done only two columns and filled most of the spread with images. By putting it all in columns it makes it easier for the reader to read the article.
