Kerrang! Double page spread- textual analysis



· There is one large image covering two pages of Hayley Williams, the singer from Paramore. It’s a close up/ medium close up of her singing in to the microphone with closed eyes. Next to this is in some large text in speech marks which says “IT’S OK TO HAVE SCARS AND SHOW THEM…” This is a quote from the article and might persuade people to read on.
· Underneath this is three columns of text in white writing set against the dark background of the photo. There are lots of references to the songs they have released; the use of language is informal as if she’s talking to a friend. The questions she is asked are in bold to make them stand out. This means that the reader can just look at the questions they are interested in and don’t have to read the whole thing.
· There is a sub heading at the top “PARAMORE SHARE THEIR PAIN ON ALBUMN TWO”
· The headline, sub heading and columns of text are all in a sans-serif font which shows that the magazine is modern.
· At the bottom there is another image, this time of the whole band in a long shot and look like they are having fun which makes them look approachable. There is a caption on the image and in the bottom corner of the page is the page number. I need to make sure I include all these things when designing and producing my magazine.
