The page uses black and red colors which link to the magazine's style and the genre of rock music. A large main image takes up much of the page along with informal text. The headline aims to make readers curious to learn more from the article. While the layout is informal with the large image, the content and language around music suggests discussing a notable figure within the industry.

The colours used on this doublepage spread areblack red and white and this fits in,some ways with the ‘British’theme
but also fits in with the genre of rock and dark colours likeblack areusually associated with that type of genre of music.
The fonts used on the page are justsimpleand the layoutis mainly pictures on one sideand text on the other which gives
a nice balancefor the reader.

Principle
The Guttenberg designprincipal
can be appliedas the kicker with
the main information onthe
page is in theprimary optical
area. It is a littlebitstrangethat
the headlinehowever is inthe
weak fallow area but the colours
ofred helps it to stand out
though. In the terminal area
there is just a box witha few
logos in that peoplemay notbe
as interestedin and themain
picture is inthestrong fallow
area and stands out.
Main Image/images
The main imageon the pageis of
band/artists with their Kerrang
awards ands it the biggestthing
on the page which emphasises
what the articleis about. The
other images areof other artist
with theirawards whicharea
little smaller this gives the
audience a hint of whatis to
come in therest of the magazine
as the artistall look rock androll
and like they would fit in to a
typical band thatwouldbe
shown in this magazine..
Headline
The headline of ‘Bestof British’suggeststhe magazineisthe bestmagazine togetall yourmusicinformation

Text
The point ofthe text is to
inform people about what is
happening at these awards
and to inform you in to what
artists have wonor were
nominated. It is written
informally. The text uses
words that can be kinked
with the semantic field of
music like ‘rock’ andthisalso
links the genre of the
magazine whichwill make
the reader more interested.

There aren’t many other colours used on the page other than black which is the text which is usually thenormal in every
magazine, however though the images do bringlittlecolour to the page ,however though the use of justblack makes the
double page spread seem more formal even though the design balanceis quiteinformal.

However through the set out
