Textual Analysis Double-Page Spread, KERRANG Mag

Double-Page Spread                             



Layout.
The way this double-page spread has been layed out is drawing my attention to Billy Joel as he is in the middle and is stood with wide eyes and is holding a CD. the ratio of text to image i feel is about 30:70, this is because there are 3 members of this band and they have all been featured on this page. In this double-page spread they have used subheadings for you to know what to look for, if your looking for something particular about green day you just have you find the right subheading and it will tell you.

Text.
The type of words the have used on this double page spread are the words that you would have in a conversation, they are informal. they aren't words that would be used in a letter so they aren't formal they are casual. The content of this story is about how they are getting old and how they might be getting to the end of there run in the music industry but then again they may continue on till the are ancient.

Image.
The way the images have been been put together is the way they would stand if the were on the stage doing a gig, Billy is in the middle and the other two are on the other sides. The dominant photo on this double-page spread is the on in the centre of both pages as it has billy Joel. The other images that have been used for this double page spread are the other members of the band, they have only had photo's of the band members featured in this double page spread because they didn't feel the need to have other photo's of unimportant stuff.

Codes and Conventions.
This articles fits with magazine because it's a music magazine and they are a band that have been featured in the magazine because they have new albums coming out.

Target Audience.
This article has been made for people who like Green day and are interested in when they are going on tour also it is for people who want to by their new album.
