Kerrang Double Page Spread Analysis

This is a double page spread from 'Kerrang' a Rock music magazine. Immediately from taking one glance at this double page spread, it is easy to tell what genre it is. It features plenty more images than in other music magazines, and everything appears to be quite hectic and a stereotypical Rock ’N’ Roll view. The 2 pages give the impression of roughness yet edginess and almost a messy lifestyle of the artist featured. Rock ‘N’ Roll is usually presented with tattoos and ripped shirts, and clearly this is shown here which could embody a rebellious approach.  The use of angled photos of different sizes creates an emphasis of genre and sense of rock music. The page contains hardly any text, which is sort of pushed aside possibly suggesting the photos of the live show tell the readers everything they need to know. It also gives us an impression that the readers aren’t intellectual and prefer photos to text.
