2. This double spread article is taken from a Rock based magazine called Kerrang! The article is clearly using the Rule of 3rds.
Also, on the second page of the spread, the guttering is made to shape around the image. The two images are of Chester
Bennington and Mike Shinoda who are both co-lead singers of the band that the article is about which is Linkin Park. The
article has also used different stuff such as pull quotes, drop caps and has also included a sidebar telling the reader about
their new album.
The background colours are not the most eye catching colours but the reason why is because they want the reader to
focus on what they are actually reading and so they wouldn’t want bright colours such as yellows and reds because they
could potentially distract the reader. Bennington and Shinoda are in clothes that are similar to the colours of the
background. They have also used a simple sans serif font to give the article a more mature look about it. Linkin park have
been round for over 15 years and have released their fair share of albums .They have grown older and so have their fans so
by having simple fonts and colours shows the reader that they have grown and decided to go for a more mature look along
with their album. The pull quote, ‘it’s not me talking about my hurt, little feelings again.’ Is used to give the reader a quick
summery of what the article will be about if they decided to read it. However, they have used a funny yet serious quote to
make the article seem interesting.
