The first 4 paragraphs on the bottom double page from Kerrang
The first thing that you see in this image is the figure on the right with an almost surreal hair style, leaning and pointing at ‘brain stew’ written in a very rogue font. This is clever as the image doesn’t explain anything at all but instantly draws the reader in as an attempt to point something out to or to stop the reader so they can’t then work out what’s being displayed on the page.
Another good thing about this double page is the box as the top left at a slanted angle, as this also instantly draws in the reader’s attention to the magazine. Its bold yellow headline is a eye catcher as well so that you’re immediately interested in reading what it says.
One of the problems with this magazine double page is that it’s got so much going on at once that it would most likely confuse the reader. There are a lot of different colours and fonts, which are all scattered in different boxes and circles that separate them. This is too hard for the reader to focus on and makes for an annoying approach to presenting the double page spread.
The page seems cluttered with so many boxes and writing that the figure on the right is covered and we can barely see him amongst all of the text, this is really irritating as it’s almost a chore having to search around for scattered text and boxes.
The next paragraph are on the top doublepage magazine.
There is nothing I like about the bottom double page magazine, it just looks completely ridiculous, and everything is too spaced apart. The picture is too dark and has no real impact leaving the reader not interested to read more. There’s too many different shades of colour and large titles spread about. There’s a few little charts with peoples names and starring but its all too mixed since there is too much happening its way to annoying to look at.
What I will be using?
- Large images to draw out a reader
- Bold titles to also draw out a reader
- Columns to make it easier to read
- Suitable Colour scheme
