'Kerrang' Music Magazine - Second Double Page Spread Analysis

My second double page spread analysis is on an Of Mice & Men article. 
There are several images on this double page spread - 9 in total. The main image is of the band in a staged photograph outside on some stairs; I think suits their characters and goes with the genre as well as it is something quite different. Again it is the typical group photograph with the main lead in the foreground and the other members of the band in the background. This image takes up most of the first page with the text written around it and it slightly laps over onto the next page. The other images are simply placed around the double page spread helping the reader to engage more with the article that has been written. 

There are several design elements that are used on this double page spread, they are all fairly simple such as the sticker that is in the left top hand corner that is highlighted with the red rectangle. This works really well as firstly it it stays within in the colour scheme through the use of red, white and black. Also through the use of this design element, the chosen colours and fonts, it makes the page more appealing to it's audience. Furthermore, other design elements that are used are the yellow rectangles that help to highlight particular parts of the text. 

Many coloumns are used on this double page spread. On the first side they use 4 columns, the first column being much bigger than the other 3. On the second side of the double page spread 5 columns are used. It is not usual for this many columns to be used on one double page spread. However, it does make everything look very organised and it compliments the number of images that are used.

There is the page number and the brand identity feature used on both sides of the double page spread - on the first page it is in the bottom left hand corner and on the second page it is in the bottom right hand corner. This is highly common for a music magazine to have. Moreover, within magazines that are published monthly rather than weekly it is quite usual to see an issue number to be published there as well to increase the identity aspect of the magazine.
