The double page spread analyzes two magazine spreads from Kerrang and Uncut magazines. The Kerrang spread uses red, white, and black colors that appeal to both male and female readers and features an image of a rock band. The Uncut spread also uses red, white, and black and features an image of a solo artist. Both spreads include quotes from the featured artists to draw readers in.
