Research Into Similar Products (Double Page Spread 2)


Above, I have highlighted all the key features of a double page spread used in Kerrang Magazine. As you can see, the main image is located in the centre of both pages, with the text laid out around it. This gives the reader the impression that the cover star is dominant over the rest of the page. And due to the location of the main image, the readers eyes are drawn directly to it. Kerrang use a consistent colour scheme of red and black on these pages. This creates symbiosis between the brand and the cover star. Kerrang also use anchorage text as an intro to the article witch gives the reader a preview of what they are about to read. Kerrang use a red font colour to show the beginning of a new paragraph. This could symbolise a change in topic, this could be used to discourage the reader from stopping reading if they find a part of an article less interesting. On this double page spread, Kerrang use a white font colour on a dark background, this makes the body of text pop out at the reader.
