This double page spread from Kerrang straight away presents a rock feel with the colours black and red as they are regularly uses to represent the genre due to their immediate connotations of anger, pain and passion. The overall layout is busy and has quite a few images within the article but they placed in line on the page, contrasting with the usual thoughts associated with the messiness of rock. The masthead is big, bold and spreads over both pages this firstly draws the reader’s attention straight to the mast head and as it is spread across both pages its presents the importance of what it says as it dominates both pages. The font used with the masthead when closely focused on is distorted this is significant due to how the music of this genre sounds and people perceptions of it. The four images featured on the double page spread show the group at work, the fact that they went against having a big photo shoot with glamorous outfits but choose to portray themselves in a natural light grounded at work gives of the feeling that for them it is more about their musical influence and that what they are in the industry for. There is also the factor that the pictures are in black and white as they don’t show colours the pictures still build a boundary between the band and the consumers as we still fully don’t know what they really look like in colour.
Overall i believe that this double page spread is relevant to its genre as it uses the stereo typical connotations of rock and uses them to form an overall judgment of the group shown.
