The large picture of the artist on the double page spread immediately jumps out at the reader and makes the magazine seem more interesting. The pull quote on the page is very large and all in different sizes which again interests the reader and makes them want to read it. The different size text could reflect the rebellious side of the artist and

perhaps the genre of music that the magazine covers. The text itself on the double page spread is good as there isn't too much of it so this way the reader doesn’t get

bored. The colours on the double page spread aren't very eye catching though as black and white lettering can be seen as quite boring by many readers which may put some

off purchasing the magazine. The pose in which the artist is standing isn't very interesting or eye catching either however she is looking directly at the reader which

does connect the reader to the magazine which is good.

The main image used on the double page spread is of an artist. The image is good as the artist is looking directly at the reader which connects the reader to the magazine and makes it seem like the magazine is talking directly to the reader. The artist is also in colour which is good as it makes the magazine more interesting by using colour to be eye catching.

There is also images of the artist in the background in different poses which would suggest to the reader that the artist is interesting and the reader will be more likely to read more about them. The pull quote is small and not very effective. Also being put in black isn't seen as very interesting and this could bore the reader. There is a lot of text on the two pages and I think this could bore the reader as the reader will be more interested in seeing images instead of a lot of text and this may

put potential customers off buying the magazine.

KERRANG: Double Page SpreadKERRANG: Double Page Spread

The double page spread of Kerrang uses a lot of imagery which is good as this attracts the readers attention. The main image is of the lead singer of a band in the middle of a performance which would imply to the reader that the band covers up and coming artists that are very popular and are still performing. The other images on the double page spread are of different members of the band which shows that the magazine doesn’t just focus on one person and goes into different

bands in good detail which is what the reader wants to read in a music magazine. In terms of colour the magazine is very eye catching as the contrast of black and red and white contrast very well and allows the text and images to stand out at the same time. There isn't much text on the page which is good as the reader doesn’t want to be bored with lots of text. The text itself is in white which stands out well from the black background and is also more interesting than the normal black text that you find in many other music magazines. The effect of having the white background in the corner of the

page is good as it adds a contrast of colour to the page which makes it more eye catching and also allows for the colour of the text to be changed to black which makes the magazine more exciting as the text is in a different colour.
