I looked at a double spread in Kerrang magazine as an inspiration for my own music magazine. On this spread I particularly like the layout because it is simple yet amazing. The layout includes everything from images to URLs and the text is positioned so that it is readable and the images are placed in certain areas so that they are not over crowding the space. On the left there is almost an A4 sized image of (the former band) My Chemical Romance's lead singer, Gerard Way and I love how this fits nicely and neatly onto the page as it looks professional and it makes Gerard Way look very important and also shows that he is the singer of the band. On the right hand size there is a little box going down the page which has upcoming tracks from MCR and what it possibly sounds like and this is unique and you wouldn't find it anywhere else. The text in the center on the right side is a lot smaller than the images which shows that the writer of the article preferred to use more images than text to appeal to a certain audience.
The colour scheme for this article is red, black and white which is a consistent colour throughout Kerrang magazine. The colour scheme looks neat and professional with the black and white images and the colour and font of the text is quite big and brighter than the rest of the article which would catch the readers eye. The text is also referring to MCR's album and upcoming projects and the fact that "The best MCR" is in white whilst the rest of the title is red stands out a lot because it emphasis's the fact that this is directly from the band themselves and they want people to know this.The content of the text is MCR talking about their album and all of their upcoming works.Finally, the images on the page are from either live gigs or the recording studio, which fits with the entire article. The band members are all positioned in a working stance which shows that they are getting down to business and are thinking about what they are going to do.
