Double Page Spread Analysis

The Kerrang! Double page spread featuring My Chemical Romance follows all the typical conventions of a double page spread. This piece works as it flows together well and none of it looks out of place, everything from the pull quotes to the side bar and main image follows a colour scheme, allowing the reader to follow and engage with the piece.

The images used are all black and white and work well together; the main image is used as a background for the rest of the DPS creating a flow between the two pages. The filler images explore different parts of the article letting the reader relate and see what’s going on in the article. The black and white theme throughout the DPS works with the simplistic layout and design of the pages, the use of the red highlights important bits of the feature drawing the reader to these parts because they standout from the black and white.

The side bar works well as it stands out from the rest of the article and gives the reader added information, the use of subheading s on this sidebar allows the reader to quickly pick out the bits of information they want to read. The pull quote stands out due to its size and colour, the white text in the middle of the smaller red text signifies the importance of the quote and sticks with the reader throughout the rest of the article.
