Double page spreads

KerrangTitle is a quote from the band. Something that the audience of rock fans would like to know about their favourite bands. Authentic quotes means that the magazine is close to the band

Black and white image, live from a concert. There are also studio photo’s thrown into the mix, as rock fans (potentially above pop) like to focus on a bands musical career over their social lives.

The amount of texts suggests a short snappy interview that means people who are into all bands can skim through it quickly, whilst those who specifically look for this band will be able to view it closer and take more from it to satisfy their band craving. The text colour of red white and black follows one of kerrang’s colour scheme’s and all works on the basis of a gothic pallet with bold contrasting colours that the specific audience will appreciate.

Rolling stonesImage: model is wearing mans top, style suggests a sexy look, without showing skin also suggesting control. This appeals to females as well as males. Black hair is very cool and very gothic.

This quote used may seem very attractive to the gothic audience as we can see it clearly relates to people who want to stand out, and that’s just what people like punk and rock fans tend to do, with flashy hair and awesome attitudes.

Like most other double page spreads, there is a large amount of text, although it only seems to take up a maximum of a quarter of the page one these magazines that focus on teenagers rather than the older men that might be reading classic rock.

The colour scheme is basic and yet eye catching with a blend that nicely combines the black and white gothic scheme with little amounts of red to contrast, also contrasting is the red of her top

Classic rockRated more for the older audience there is a vintage style surrounding this double page with a tinted photo and a very 80’s/90’s feel to the clothing and imagery.

The title isn’t particularly eye catching, relating once again to the older rock fans who are mainly interested in their older careers and stories rather than anything else.

This large, not very attractive amount of text once again has been placed for this older audience (aged 35 and older, predominantly male) and focuses heavily on the context of what the bands were like “back in the day”.
