This double page spread from Kerrang! is about a rebellious 17 year old artist as shown on the page. The style of language is quite formal however uses words like ‘wild’ and ‘outrageous’ to express this artists personality. Again the house style is kept the same however the use of red the meaning of danger or evil. The other font styles give a very strong meaning, especially in the title, adds to the effect of danger. The use of mise-en-scene in the central image is effective from the use of clothing/make up. The clothes are leather which adds to the rebellious side, however also makes it seem quite sexual. The stance of the girl gives the impression of her not caring which would appeal to other audiences her age. The ratio between the text and image is almost even however more of the image is shown which is what till get the most attention at first glance.
This other double page is from the magazine Kerrang! that features the band My Chemical Romance (MCR). The use of colour again is similar to the previous double page as the use of red connotes the house style, as well as resembling the band to be another rebellious group, which could represent danger or being bad. The layout is mainly taken up by the use of images, as that is what interests the reader more and would make the article seem far more interesting at first glance. The use of photos is again to connote with the house style and also helps with the representation. The use of language is quite informal as it is appealing to the target audience, which is of a younger age. Further more the style of font is kept quite bold and fairly easy to read, which is so the reader at first glance can recognise what the magazine is about and whom it’s about. Finally the other headlines on the same subject are there to influence the reader more to buy it, words like “exclusive” and “New MCR track” would interest them and give them the impression that there getting more than they paid for.
