Double page spread analysis.

This is a double page spread from a Kerrang magazine. The page itself is divided into two main sections, one is three pictures and the other is six columns of writing. This provides a good effect because it splits the page up instead of it being just text. The headline on this page of 'I couldn't handle it...' is a quote from the singer, this is effective because it is intriguing and makes the reader want to find out what he is talking about. The quote stands out as well because it is in large white writing which is a contrast to the rest of the page.

The drop cap at the start of the first paragraph is a good way to start the interview because it is eye catching and helps to draw the readers attention. As well as this, the arrow at the end shows that the article is continued on the next page. Also at the start of each paragraph the first two words used are in capitals, this helps to show the sart of each paragraph and to make the page clearer.

The picture to text ratio is about 60% to 40%. This is only because the writing that is used is very small and the three pictures are larger. These pictures are unusual in the sense that one of them is overlapping pages, splitting the picture right down the middle through the gutter. The pictures used are different because You Me At Six are dressed smartly in them, this is completely different to how they usually dress.
