The typography of the magazine, for example the main fonts used are mainly san serif fonts which give the effect of boldness to the page. Within the fonts there is a ‘splattered’ effect which, like the mast head on the front cover of the Kerrang magazines, connotes the indie rock genre of the magazine. This is best shown in the font of ‘The Best MCR’. The first piece of lengthy text uses a Kicker in Red which draws the reader into reading the article and it being in red also adds to the effect of making the article stand out amongst the page. The Main masthead is a pull quote and it helps the reader to gain an understanding of what the article is going to be about.
The layout of the double page spread isn’t saturated with too much text; it contains many images, one main image on the left side followed up by three other small images on the left and right of the double page spread. Many images on the page attract the reader to look at the images and then read the article by seeing the kicker. There is a vague route of the eye layout used on this double page spread but the rule of thirds can be seen as the main image is in one of the thirds of the grid.
The colours used on the pages are related to the to the colours that are usually used on the front of Kerrang magazines. This shows that Kerrang use colour schemes that relate to the audience and genre and use this house style throughout their editions of their magazines. These colours are chosen as they are all relevant colours to the genre.
There are four images on the double page spread which are the main attraction of the pages as the ratio of images to text is dominated by images. The images are in the effect of black and white which give assistance to the colour scheme of red, black and white. The clothes that are shown on the band members in the images are related to the indie rock genre, for example skin tight jeans and denim jackets. On the first small image on the left side of the page has been taken at a slightly low angle to make the band member look taller and of more authority.
The magazine speaks to its audience through the overall colour schemes used, fonts and images. It uses various pieces of langue to engage the reader like the quote they have used from the band my chemical romance. It also uses phrases like ‘worlds exclusive’ which singles out the interview engaging the reader further.
The Mise-en-scene used in this double page spread of the magazine signifies various elements of the readers genre. The props used such as Microphones, Guitars and Drums show how the magazine might be associated with the rock genre. The Hair and Make-up used also add to the effect of this as the lead singer has longish black hair swooped across his face and appears to be wearing a thin line of black eye liner.
The Double page spread is a host of various images. It is composed by one main image taken at a Mid-Shot for the reader to view most of the body of the singer. It also has three more smaller images on the page.
