Double Page Spread Analysis

The main language convention this double page spread follows is that the main text at the top is made with different sized fonts. The biggest font used was on ‘absolutely’ which is done to put emphasis on the word, it is also done in bold to make it stronger. The colours stick to a strict colour scheme of grey, black, white and pink. The pink is used in the bigger part of the text on certain words, this makes the white drained out and the pink linking the main words to what the article is about. It is creating a variety on the page which makes it look more interesting to read. The subheadings and the main text at the top of the page are in front of the squared shape which makes them more prominent and stand out overall on the page. For the subheadings it also shows a clear differentiation between each question, and what the text underneath them is going to be about and feature. The article is to the right hand side of the page and main shot is on the left, to show he is as dominant as the article itself. The picture links with a genre that the magazine tries to portray, this magazine being about rock. We can tell from this image by his stereotypical dress sense being casual and the tattoos on his arms which denote rebellion. Also his gelled spikey hair makes him look rebellious. To the bottom left of the photo there is a caption which links to the photo. At the top left hand corner it also includes the website, this is a typical convention as after reading this article the reader may want more and with this at the top they’ll know where to look.
