Double page spreads analysis
By Gemma Whitehead
The type setting in this double page spread is not justified- in other words the text just flows and is not presented as neatly as some magazines would present it.
However this is mainly a rock magazine and is rough around the edges so having it very neatly presented would not suit the magazine or for that
matter, the band. Also half the page has pictures and half has writing , this shows that they want to show the band so people know who they are rather
than just talking about them as this would not grab the audience. The columns make the article easier to read and the height of the first character
(in red) is four lines long so it draws the readers attention to the start of the article and encourages them to read the whole article.
This double page spread is from Kerrang magazine, which really is
different from most of Kerrang’s pages. Firstly there is a very glamorous
woman on the page which stretches almost right across to the left third
and secondly it’s about beauty. The main readers of Kerrang magazine
are males so having a glamorous female would attract men into
reading about her but they may not read the actual article. So for my
music magazine I will make it similar but leave enough room for plenty
of text as well as someone glamorous.
This double page spread is from Mixmag and it is very dark
although they are a drum and bass band which is usually very
fast paced and colourful but the band have gone for a more
serious look. The camera angle shows the band have power and
are very dominant the slit in the middle of the page almost looks
like a trap door to the band and sort of an ‘insight into the man
behind the music’.
