Double Page Spread - Research

As previously stated with in this project i aim to also create a double page spread article focusing on an unsigned act, too successfully complete this task i must first understand the conventions that go into creating a successful and authentic looking article.


i have decided to analyse this spread take from the most popular rock magazine on the market - kerrang!





Upon analysing this article i believe that the relationship between text and imagery plays a key role in making the piece aesthetically well composed, this makes the article attention grabbing and makes people read it.
The layout has been carefully composed, the large sepia image is quite iconic, it also gives you your first insight into the band, giving the reader a glimpse of what the band is about and also allows the reader to illicit what of style of music the band are.
Text also plays a key convention in this double page spread, the variation of font size and styles keep the pieces looking interesting and therefore engage the reader.
There is an over all theme to this piece the sepia imagery accompanied by matching text create a bold foreground as they are presented to the reader on a black background.
From analysing this one piece i believe to create an authentic looking piece i must consider the following key conventions:

• Title & sub headings - font/size/layout/colour.
• imagery - size/positioning in relation to text/ colour
• main text- font/size/
