Kerrang Magazine - Double Page Spread Analysis

The colour scheme of the double page spread is white and black. The white font is easily read because it contrasts the black background. The colour scheme is very simple and it makes the two pages look organised. 

At the top of the page there is a diamond shaped text box which says 'rock confessions' this allows the reader to know what the article is based on and it links to the front cover of the magazine as there is a heading saying the same thing. The word 'rock' is in black and the word 'confessions' is in red ( it is the only red word on the page). The use of minimal red on the page makes it stand out a lot and also adds some colour to the page. They used the red to highlight an important point. Underneath this logo there is the heading of the article in bold white large font. The word 'clean' is the biggest word on the page, because once again it will appeal to the audience and it attracts the readers attention. The font of the word 'clean' looks like it is being washed off by water and it looks slightly distorted. The use of this effect will attract the audience because it looks interesting. In the middle of the page there is a short insight note about what other articles are in the magazine and what other artists you are able to read about in the issue. The names of artists are in bold which allows the audience to stop them with ease. 

The colours and image used links to the genre that will be most likely to read the magazine. Mostly Rock lovers will be reading this magazine. Rock is seen stereotypically as a very dark, hardcore  and emotional music genre, therefore, the audience and people who like Rock music will most likely also be similar to the genre of the music they listen to.

There are 3 columns in the article. The use of a drop capital attracts the readers attention to the beginning of the article. The article is structured as a Q&A which allows the reader to know what each paragraph will be about. The question is in bold which simply lets the reader know the question from the answer. The audience can choose which paragraph they are interested in reading because they know what will be answered. 

Lastly, the image is a close up of Mikey Chapman who is also the cover star on the front cover. The artist is topless and he is underwater. The water effect links in with 'coming clean' and it makes it look well organised. His mouth is open and he looks like he is screaming, this can make the reader feel interested in what his 'sins' are and what he is coming clean about.
