Music magazine article (KERRANG!)

This two page spread article from 'KERRANG!' is set out very well and has aimed at its main target audience well. This magazine is to mainly attracted males and some females and an age range from around 15 - 40 year old.  The magazine is mainly aimed at rockers and if you are into a more punk/rock scene then you would be attracted to this by what looks like a heavy type of band being shown within the main image, you can see the colors of the page are mainly dark like within the two page spread the background color stays as black and the writing is either red of white, this is good because i feel that the words are standing out on the page and makes it look more appealing to the audience itself. There is three sub images of what looks like band members together in one of the images maybe running through ideas for music as you can see what seems to be a layout of a studio and them working together to think of new and creative ideas, the other is what looks to be the main singer showing off his vocals and this could show a sense of hes independent and that he is the only main singer. The last image is a man who is playing the guitar and this could show that they are mainly influenced there music by guitar based backing tracks. I think that the way they have layered out the page is very good as they have made it clear and simple what you are to be looking at, it is not all thrown randomly around the page, seems very neat and easy to read. There is a way of contacting the website for any other news in the top hand corner which is key because it is another way for the magazine to interact with the magazine and find ways to improve or what people want to see inside. The main cells are closed together to show each are important and could be interlinked with each other and with the band which is being shown. The cover-line for this stands out well from the page and makes you want to read on as it is bright, powerful and looks interesting.
