This document provides a double page analysis of a magazine article on Davey Havok, the frontman of a band. The first page features a full length photo of Havok posing to show off his tattoos and piercings, which are associated with his genre of music. Text on the second page balances out the lack of text on the first page. Various design elements like pull quotes, headers and captions are analyzed for how they lay out information and engage the reader.

Double page analysis
This is the model for the magazine ‘Davey Havok’ who
is the frontman for the band, he is wearing a t-shirt to
show off his tattoos and is wearing a stretcher, these
are associated with his bands genre of music
This is a pull quote that is also used as a
mast head. It has a black background to
make the text stand out and to keep the
reader interested.
Underneath this
headline is a strap line
which in this case is used
to introduce the band
and give a small bit of
insight into the artist
This is a small tab to
inform the reader
about where to find
more information
about the topic
These are the
questions the reporter
asked which have been
highlighted so the
reader knows the topic
there discussing
These are the replies
the artist has said
The caption is used to
briefly describe the image
related to the genre of his
music
This first page of the
article is mainly just
vertical full length image
of the model, this image
was probably taken in a
studio as he is posing and
looking directly towards
the camera, audience and
with the light source
affecting the background.
This second page is heavily
text filled to balance out the
lack of text on the opposite
page
This boarder is consistent around both pages that
is used to fill in gaps around the page so there are
no large plain spaces
This letter is larger than the
others to catch the reader’s eyes
so they will begin to read the
article. This also works as a
kicker

Double page analysis
This double page isn’t an informative article, this is just
an overview of the band ‘bullet for my valentine’s’
concert at Islington academy
This page is in black
and white to
emphasize on the
emotions in the
images as no 1 colour
can express the
different emotions in
the images
This is the mast head and
the main article which is
coloured white to
contrast the dark
background to make the
text stand out.
These images show the
celebrations of the band
behind the scenes after
their concert to show how
they act of stage
This are interviews of
the different people at
the concert.
1.The first person
interviewed is the
lead singer of the
band asking him how
the concert was to his
and his opinion for
how it went.
2.The second is of a
female fan in the
audience to show how
she felt as the fan
experience
3.This shows how a
male fan of the band
felt about this
experience as the
band has both male
and female fans
These images show the determination of two
of the band members as the play and sing
during the gig.
This shows the
boundary of how
the rating system
of the concert
works
This also how the reporters at kerrang thing
of the concert with their rating system of 4
K’s
