This is a Kerrang double page spread featuring the band Fall Out Boy. The layout is simple as the left hand side is mainly used for text whereas the right hand side is mainly about the image. However the image is used as the background bu t this suits as the image is in black and white which are common colours for a rock magazine. The other colour used on this spread is red. This is also common for a rock magazine as red can denote love, passion or anger. This relates the the songs Fall Out Boy perform. The main headline is located at the top left of the page. The First word is the largest and written in both red and white. Kerrang have used an effect that could be described as a spray paint as half the word is red and half is white. It also creates an effect of blood dripping which is another rock stereotype. Below this is 'COULD HAPPEN'. This is written in white writing which stand out on the dark background. The whole headline is written in bold capitals and using different sizes adds to the effect on the reader. It is also written in quotation marks which shows the reader that someone has said it and draws the reader into reading the rest of the article. Below the heading is the sub-heading which follows the same colour scheme with the use of red and white. Again the first word, 'EXCLUSIVE', is in red. The rest in white. This will draw the readers eyes to the red and let the reader know this is an exclusive with potentially one of their favourite bands. Finally, in the bottom right and corner is a competition also using the colour red. This is in the bright and in the corner to catch the readers eye after the main story is read. Overall this is a very effective double page spread with the good use of an image, colours and bold headlines to keep the reader interested.
