Research Double Page Spread 1: KERRANG!

The images clearly show that this is a rock magazine, with the style of clothing and the band members with their guitars and microphones and the way the page is laid out with it looking busy and cluttered. The images are taken from an event. Out of the writing and the images, for me, automatically the images stand out much more than the writing. With each image there is a small black box with white writing telling the reader who the image is of. The title KERRANG! is in the top right hand corner in the black box the same as the contents page title but in white writing instead of yellow. The colour theme is white, black and red. Having the black writing on the white background makes the writing stand out more. However, the writing on the left hand side of the page is rather small and therefore difficult to read. For the images to stand out from the two pages, they have put a border around the 5 images using white. The writing that they want to attract the attention of the readers are in capital letters, large font size and the band name is in bubble writing. KERRANG! is aimed at teenagers so this double page spread could be portraying that teenagers are messy so the page is "messy" with images from gigs.
