Double Page Spread Analysis

Double Page Spread Analysis

 How does the choice of band featured in the article suggest what the target audience will be?

The band which has been chosen for the article is appropriate for the magazine because there band makes the type of music for the genre of the magazine also they have ‘secret album’ which is going to make people who listen to that type of music, buy the magazine and people who like the ‘The fall out boys’ would also buy the magazine to gain knowledge on the favorite band.

What type of language is used in the article? Give examples of words or phrases which are specific to the style of the magazine.

The type of language that is used is one that has subtle humor this is specific to the style of the magazine because it shows to the reader that the magazine is light hearted and fun. Also the magazine doesn't use a letter to indicate the peoples name in the article which could suggest that the band is not that well known and is a new band.

How is color used?

There are dark colors used to represent the rock group because rock groups are usually associated with dark colors  However there is a red which is a bright color and is usually used to indicate danger which again is normally represented to rock music groups.

What style of text is used?

The style of text which is used is just normal font type in black and the questions that have been asked are in red

How is the double page spread laid out?

The double page article is spread out with the band on the left page and the articles and questions on the right side. There is also the title of the article on the top right.

How much of the pages are taken up by images and how much by text?

There is only one page which I taken up by images.

What sort of tone is the magazine using when addressing the reader (as a close friend, a member of an “in” crowd or an informed intelligent fan)?

The sort of tone which the magazine is using is as a close friend because as the article reads it’s give a sense of that the writer wants the reader to be informed as friend and that’s how the article reads.

How is the artist/band presented to the audience through the images?

the band is presented to the audience through the picture as being chill because they are standing all looking into the camera and there outfits don’t suggest that they are too wild like most rock groups.

How does the style of the article match the style of the front cover of the magazine?

The style of the article matches the front cover because there is a black background on the top left with a scratched effect on it similar to the cover also the color red id used a lot to represent danger.

Mood Board

This is a mood board which i have created to see what style other rock music magazine are so that i can get an idea of how to format my magazine.

This mood board consists of rock music magazines covers. most of the camera shot which is being used is a mid shot which which shows there head and torso. The things that they are wearing are basic colors like black or white which for a rock group is typical because they are portrayed as being dull also on the 'BringMeTheHorizon'  they have a blood effect on there t-shits which is also typically used for rock groups as some sub-genres are thought to be gory. The overall representation of these rock groups is that they are dark the colors that are used for the cover help this representation come through. The fonts which are used are clean and bold and they also stick out. the font style for the 'Kerrang' magazines is one that looks like a smashed record the others like the 'Classic rock' magazines is that it looks clean and professional  and so do the rest. the color scheme for the 'Kerrang' magazines is that the bands which are on the front are wearing dark and have dark backgrounds which is traditionally the color rock groups are associated  with. the 'classic rock' also have used dark colors. the type of articles which are featured on the front of these magazine consist of articles including information on the band on the front cover, gig dates and they also include other articles of other bands.
