The document summarizes the layout and design elements used in a magazine feature article about a band. It notes that each of the 3 double page spreads features a large image of a band member. The text is arranged in a grid style across all pages and wraps around any images. Dark colors and fonts are used throughout to match the dark theme of the band's music genre and album cover. The informal language and use of member quotes makes the article engaging to read.

2. For the main feature, 3 double pages have been used. One thing we see is that on all 3
spreads, there is a very large image of a member of the featured band. In addition, a grid
style of text has been used for the article: on all 3 spreads this has been used. If there are
images and text on a page, the text wraps around the image.
At the start of the article, a drop cap has been used to show it is the start. Generally, very
small font size has been used. However, in certain parts, for example the introduction of
the band at the start, the font is slightly larger. Also, there are quotes from members of the
band under some of the images, and these also use a slightly larger font. The font itself is
quite formal; there is no fonts that stand out. Italics have been used in certain places to
highlight some words. The font colour is mostly white – this stands out against the very
dark background and is easily visible.

3. The colours used here matches what was on the front cover. In the images, the members
of the band are still wearing black costumes and the background is also black just like the
front cover. The same crystal skull is featured again, and this skull and the text are the only
bright things on the page. This use of mainly very dark colours establishes the genre of
music, as stereotypically rock music is associated with these.
The images used seem to be part of the entire background; for example on the first
spread we see a members foot behind the text. Other images have been used which just
shows the band. In some of these images, the people are looking at the audience and
giving direct contact, but in others they are not. This almost gives a personality to the
band, because when they give direct contact its as though they’re acknowledging the
audience, but in images they don’t, we see images of them performing and this shows
their personas.
The page number is shown on the bottom left and right corners of the pages in white,
small font, next to a small print of the masthead.

4. The language used is quite informal, and the article almost seems like a narrative. This
makes the article more enjoyable to read.
When we first see the double page spreads, we get perhaps a moody impression: there
are very dark colours used throughout and these could be associated with emos and
goths.
However, when we look further at the images, we see that the 3 members of the band
are quite often photographed together: this perhaps shows how they are a band and not
individual artists. The use of the crystal skull shows wealth, but having the skull also
reinforces the stereotype of rock artists and fans of rock music being associated with
darker, perhaps gothic themes.
