Music Magazine - Kerrang! Analysis - Double Page Spread


The image that Taylor Momsen (feautured in this article) portrays, is easily reflected in this double page spread.

The main colours; red, black and white, could be linked to the colours that she is usually pictured wearing, due to her style. She has bleached blonde hair which could relate to the white colour. Her eyes are usually outlined deeply with black eyeliner, and she wears a lot of black coloured clothing etc.

'Wild Child' is the main headline of this article. The wild bit is written in a scruffy font, coloured in red. The general denotation of red could just simply suggest that she likes the colour red, maybe. But the connotation of the red could signify danger, which may be the resukt of being a 'wild child'.

The 'Child' part of the main headline is written in white, which the connotations could suggest 'innocence' which you would expect from a child etc.

Each question asked in the interview is distinctively seperated from the answer. The questions are written in red, and are in an increased font to the answers of the questions which are written in white and at a smaller font.

The subheading is written directky underneath the main headline, and as the headline in my opinion is the main focal point, this means that the subheading is also a distinct part of the double page spread, meaning that more people are likely to read it.

There is only one image in this article, and that is of Taylor Momsen.She is dressed in a leather jacket which is black, has her blonde hair, and has her trademark black outlined eyes done thickly. In some ways, she looks quite bored, which could link to the general stereotype of teenage girls that they are quite moody, which is what she also looks like too.

I don't like this double page spread, as I feel that everything looks really out of place, and therefore I shall not be taking an inspiration from it whilst creating my own music magazine.
