Music Magazine - Double Page Spread Analysis - Kerrang! - All Time Low


With this article, it also goes along with the general conventions, and has a layout which I would like to achieve whilst creating my magazine.

All Time Low - the band featured in the article - have a popular reputation for being a 'fun' kind of band which is clearly portrayed throughout the double page spread.

The main image is of all four members of the band, with Jack holding a pair of large pink pants, which could emphasise the comedy effect which happens throughout the duration of the article.

'Mostly We Just Blow Each Other...' is the main headline of the double page. The headline is a quote taken from the interview, which could once again be emphasising the comedy factor wanting to be achieved.

There is a general comedy scheme of yellow, black and white which is continuous throughout the article. The main headline, the pull quotes of the interview, the name of the band in the top left corner, and the headlines of each question are in yellow, which stand out from the page, making them focal points.

The main headline is the focal point because of the large, bold writing which is written in a bright yellow colour and stands out from the colours of the background. Because the 'Just Blow' part of the text is written in a considerably larger text to the rest, which drags emphasis to it. As All Time Low are predominantly aimed at girls of approximately fourteen year old and upwards, this would be quite funny to them, once again achieving comedy.

The white background of the text allows the black font to stand out, and the same is about the yellow highlighted questions of the text.

The subheading of the main headline doesn't stand out from the text, because of the white text placed on a black boxed background which is then placed on the dark coloured background of the image. However, this is not necessarily a problem as the focus of the main headline will draw the reader to look at the sub heading whilst doing so.
