A double page spread analysis of Kerrang

This double page spread is also divided in to two with a picture on the right and all of the text on the left, however unlike in the Q magazine there is a pattern between the two pages which links them nicely, also there is a colour scheme between the two pages which keeps them linked nicely. On the right hand side of the page there is a large image of Jesse Lacey performing on stage, he is wearing a blue brown and red checked shirt and the colours of his shirt are followed through for the colour scheme of these pages. From the top left corner there is a checked detail similar as to that in the shirt Jesse is wearing, the checked pattern created a good visual affect and makes the page look very different to others in the magazine, it also created a good background for the title and other bits to be written on. In the very top corner it states that this is a brand new interview this makes readers want to read on as they know its exclusive and they will learn new things about Jesse that they never knew before, beside this there is details of who wrote and took the picture for this article, all of this is written in black. Just below this there is the main title this is written in a bold white font to make it clearly stand out from the rest of the text. Then below this there is a short description of what is included in the interview to make readers what to have a better look and see, it also states that the "recluse speaks out" this makes the interview sound even more exclusive as Jesse doest do any interviews. All of the above text is written diagonally across the top of the page, which clearly separates it from the rest of the text. Jesse's name is in bold in the short description so it is clear for anyone who doesn’t know who he is from the picture that this is who was interviewed and the boldness makes his name look more important. At the bottom of the page there is a quote taken from something that Jesse has said "it is important to choose what will make you happy" this is a shock tactic because it makes the reader think that Jesse may not be happy with what he is doing which makes them even more intrigued to read the interview. The main interview is set out in three easy to read columns and is written in a white text on a black background again making it clear, the text is short ad concise to prevent readers getting bored but allows them to get vital information about him. The questions are written inn red to make them appear differently from the rest of the text. The main picture is a picture of Jesse performing, it looks like he is enjoying his work, however the interview suggests he is considering giving up his musical career soon to pursue other interests. He is playing a guitar and from his casual clothing and taped up guitar we can tell he is not one of the most successful musicians but is good at what he does and puts all his effort in to it.
