Double page spread textual analysis
I am going to do a textual analysis on this double page spread from the magazine Kerrang. The reason I have chosen this double page spread is because I intend to make my double page spread similar to this one and also I am thinking of making my magazine based on the rock genre.
The main cover line ‘’ WE’RE BEING THE BEST MCR WE CAN BE!’’ stands out on both pages, it is bold which makes it stand out from the rest of the text on the pages, also this attracts the reader because it shows the bands determination and commitment towards music. The ‘World exclusive’ at the top left side of the first page makes this page unique it’s a world exclusive. Kerrang have been invited to the MCR recording studio which it mentions in one of the cover lines on the right side of the double page spread. This makes die hard fans of MCR want to read on and find out more about there visit etc.
The text of the right with the white background gives the reader and heads up on the new tracks MCR have produced. This section allows the reader to read what the upcoming tracks will sound like, the track is described in text.
The left side is dominated by two individual one of them I believe is the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, he and the other band member are wearing clothing that may come across as trendy to people who are interested in their music (tight jeans and denim jacket) also their hairstyles may also be considered fashionable and ‘rocky’.
The images on the right side connotes that the band is very hard working as one of the images show the lead singer practising vocally on the microphone, also it seems that he is signing his heart out. The other image shows the group having a discussion and this could denote that they are discussion a new song maybe or they might be planning for a tour which could support the main cover line ‘WE’RE BEING THE BEST MCR WE CAN BE’. All the images on both pages compliment each other because they are all in black and white which makes the pages consistent. The colour theme of the double page spread is black, white and red all these colours go well together resulting in a more interesting page for the reader.
