In lesson we
looked at an example of a double paged spread. This is an article from the
magazine kerrang of the boy band ‘Chemical Romance’; it talks about their album
and themselves.
In a group
we came up with a little analysis of the double page spread. We noticed that the font that was used was
bold and stood out just like the boy band and the main image linked with the
colour scheme and house style of the page. The colour scheme is red, white and
black, which is presented in the text, arrows and image, this colour scheme is consistent
throughout the magazine. We thought that the arrows used in the DPS was symbolic
for the boy band as we think that it symbolizes that the band is moving
forwards in the music industry. Personally I think the conventions generic in
this DPS confirms what genre the magazine is; Kerrang is a rock magazine and
this is shown in this article. I like the layout of this DPS and I like how
they used 5 small columns which makes it look like there is not a lot of text
to read but once you start reading there is a lot more text and information
than thought, this is a good trick to get the audience to read. In conclusion there
are a lot of things that I liked with this DPS and there are tricks and ideas
that I will use when creating my own magazine even thou I might be doing a
different genre.
