Double page spread research

This is a double page spread from the magazine ‘Kerrang’. The contents of this page are on about the band ‘My Chemical Romance’. They have invited Kerrang to their recording studio to talk to them, may also have an interview with them.
The font on this double page spread on the headline is big and bold with a mix ’n’ match colour scheme of black and red. It also follows the colour convention for the whole of the magazine. It is essentially three colours throughout, red white and black, and this is even supported by the fact that the images are in black and white also. It is big and bold so people will be able to see it better. The headline, a little unusually, is actually a quotation from the band to add credibility.
They have included a small strap line in the top left hand corner of the page, declaring that it is a world exclusive, something that may appeal to MCR fans. The double page spread is supported by small text in the right hand side that is white on black to keep it similar to the colour scheme.
The main image is supported by three other smaller images giving it a better impact on the target audience. The main image is a live shot of the lead singer of the MCR band and the other three smaller images are of one other live shot of a different band member and the last two pictures on the bottom right hand side is of the band recording songs in their studio.
There is a small strip down the right hand side about half of the page long, that is talking about some of the new songs that MCR have released or are going to be releasing. The colours of this are red and white which means they are sticking to the colour scheme.
