Analysis of Kerrang's double page spread

This is a double page spread from the magazine Kerrang. This varies to the double page of NME as this has much more text, which is also set out in columns. The article also various images that are set at the bottom of the page, this is to show what other artists are involved with the feature. The main text on the page is set differently to the NME double page spread as it is on a slant this could be to represent the idea of having a punk attitude, showing rebellion. The text is also slanting towards the image and the main headline is overlapping the image of Gerard Way the lead singer of the featured band. The text is still in columns which is the same as the NME double page spread, and both articles have a relatively small amount of writing, this may be to keep the reader interested by keeping it short and manageable without adding an unnecessary information. the whole page looks as though the image was the main feature and then the text and smaller images have been placed on top, in a messy way, which could also represent rebellion. The image shows the artists performing on a stage we know this through the lighting and they way he is not looking directly at the camera he also has a microphone showing that he is performing, the photograph also shows movement as it is blurred at some parts. His outfit is authentic and represents the music he delivers. with the jacket representing either bones, or a military image, his clothes are black and white and this is also continued on the article as this is also has a black background with white text. The image is of the lead singer the photo is shot at a live performance, with the lighting highlighting his face and hair, the image only focuses on the lead singer and not on the rest of the band this may be to show that he is more important or plays a more recognisable role out of the group. A convention that is used on both double page spreads is the use of a large heading, on this article they have used a plain bold white text, to stand out against the black background, the white text could also represent the image as the artist stands out in the lights of the stage.
