Music Magazine Double Page Analysis

Double Page Spread of 'Asking Alexandria'.

The picture on the mid-bottom left is being used as he is the Vocalist for the band, Asking Alexandria. It's being used because the magazine it's in will be perfectly suited for the audience who will recognise him. Also the Main Title 'Stand Up and Scream' is the name of one of their albums. This could be used to help promote the album to it's intended audience helped along with the picture of the band member to give you an insight on what the album contains. The dark picture in the back ground is the photo used for their album cover, meaning this page is fully connected and relevant to help promote their album as it has the picture and the title right next to each other with a picture of a band member to help show off a bit.  

Also the title it in huge font and white with a 'spray can' effect to help it stand out to the audience, which I think it does quite well. The 'And' in the title is coloured in with Her Majesty's Union Flag as they are from Britain, York in fact. This helps to build a picture of them if someone reads through this magazine and has never bought this magazine before or heard of the band before, helping promote themselves to even the new-comers of this genre of music, metal core.

Layout of this double page spread is simple but affective. This is because the positioning of the picture is directly in our eye-line and the title stands out where it is because the audiences eye is drawn to it. Also the time line at the bottom is a nice feature to have so people can see how long they've been about for and what they've been doing like recording studio albums, touring etc.
