In the double page spread there are a variety of images which are placed around the page to make the page more appealing and give it something to look at visually. The main picture which is centered on the right hand side of the page, you can clearly see its the main thing on the page as its large so its eye catching to the audience. The picture is obviously a band due to the amount of people in the photo it is the tour line up made for a terrible church choir. They are all wearing variety of different clothing's as they are all there individual people that's why they are all dressed differently to have there own unique appearance. As they look quiet rock looking non of them are wearing any make up showing they don't really care about there appearance and there probably more interested in the music to care about make up. The shot is a long shot so they can fit everyone in the picture and placed them behind the background of the Kerrang wall which shows who is sponsoring them so they can be advertised a long with the magazine logo to also promote themselves. The way these artist in the image represent the target audience is its aimed at people who like rock and indie music you can tell this by the clothes they are wearing which links into the audience which is most probably what they wear as they look up to these people and want to look like them. In the picture they have taken the picture as if there all their own character to show that they are wild free and there won person there not covered up to be someone there not which I think links well into the magazine.
There are some captions on this double page spread such as on the small pictures which you can find on both pages of the double page spread there is a little captions which tells you what is going on within the picture and why its there. They obviously must relate to the article which is on the double page spread, so it gives you some information on what maybe the article is about so it pulls you in and make you want to read more of the article . Then finally it tells you about the picture because maybe you don't understand the picture so the captions tries to give you information to make you realise why they have put the picture to make you understand why they have put it there
The reason for the drop caps on this double page spread is that it catches the readers eye so they fouces on the letter so it catches there attention so they instantly start to read the article. It also depends on the colour scheme but for example the drop cap on this page suits the colour scheme of the magazine.
The column alignment within this double page spread ordered from the left hand page and then moves over to the right hand side of the page is goes around the the main picture on the page and another pictures or captions on the double page spread it also goes around them so that you can see clearly where the text is so you can see clearly where everything on the page is so its organized quiet well.
The colours which are used within the double page spread are the colour scheme for Kerrang! there is white for the background Worth the black font for the article so that the font stands out so there is a strong contrast. You also have this red and Orange squares that are just randomly put behind the picture probably to littens the page up and make it more exciting as the colours look like there is a explosions which fits in well with the magazine. The you have the big font which is in black which stands out as its bold and in your face so you instantly look at it when you first see the double page spread. All the colours are used in a way either to make parts stand out more, to add more colour to the page to make it more exciting or even just to go with the colour scheme.
The house style within this double page spread I don't think really likens to the front cover as most double page spread normally do but this one has different colour scheme and is a lot more vibrant the front cover is just mainly one of many colours. The only think I can think how this relates to the front cover is that the logo is the same and they have a lot of black red and white colours which also links in with the magazine.
I also found that the language within the article is very eye catching and makes you want to read more with cliffhangers so you wont to know what Carry's on after that cliff hanger such as this one "with the party in full swing, K! went backstage to find out..." that quote instantly wants you to carry on reading which makes you read the article so the double page spread isn't very relieving it makes you have to read deeper into the magazine to find out what they are talking about.
