Print Analysis
Headline: big bold capital
letters are used so the reader
sees this text first. The text is
a bold bright red and there is
a white line across the back
making a clear contrast and
making it easier to read. This
slogan refers to the name of
the band by saying the words
“Bloody hell!” this is cause
the band is called royal blood
making the reader want to
know the info about the
slogan.
Features: Smaller text is
used but still in bold with a
similar contrast for the
other bands featuring in the
issue showing it still has
some importance.
The title of the magazine is
situated in the top left of
the magazine. This is
because when we read we
naturally start at the top
left of any article. The title
is in a small box but it still
makes and impact due to
this.
The image in the
background of the cover
is a plain white with the
duo covering up most of
this space. They are both
wearing black giving a
clear view on how these
two look. Although there
is a white background
we don’t see any real
dead space on the cover.
Reign in blood is
written right across
the full double page
photo. This is
because it is the
album name and they
want to highlight its
importance.
They also have
smaller writing to
give more
information about
what the lager
slogan.
The text that we see on the front cover of this
magazine is all clean cut. There is no editing used
to make it look smashed, burned, creased and so
on this shows us it’s a more professional
magazine.
The duo is centred
in the middle of this
double page spread.
This shows us they
are the main
feature on this
double page. There
is also a plain whit
background
drawing our
attention to the
image and text.

The image this
time is smaller
and most of the
page is now
covered in text.
Moving the
focus on to the
article on this
page.
The use of space: this double page has been
filled with text. But where there was going
to be little gaps they filled that space with
little quotes and slogans e.g. “we never
thought we’d be doing this for a living.” The
text also goes round the outside of the image
so there is little space that hasn’t been used.
Drop cap: The
large letter
starts off the
articles and
attracts the
reader to read
the article.
