This is a double spread front Kerrang magazine who target the same audience as my magazine. There are some very clear conventions present in this magazine. to begin with there is one main image of one artist who is posing on the left page. Next to him there is a large title which has letters in different font sizes and colours. The font is highlighted and takes up more than one third of the page.
The main article is an interview with artist. The things the interviewer says are highlighted so they stand out making it easy for the reader to understand who is saying what. There are three columns of text which I have seen used a lot in double page spreads and the first letter in the article is larger than all the rest which is something I have also seen commonly used in double page spread magazines.
The background of the double page spread has a grey image with white dots around the edges and these are some white dots in the middle around the words. This makes the magazine background look less plane. I believe that this effect is very good and the magazine would be less professional without it.
I will definitely try to use some of these conventions in my magazine although I want my magazine to be different so I will try also break some of the conventions of the magazine as I want it to be unlike other magazines.
