Textual analysis of double page spreads

This double page spread was taken from Kerrang. It is an article is written about the band 'The All American Rejects'. This page incoporates both text and photos. The photos feature band members linking it to the article. Also the photos overlap and are stuck on with sellotape which could give the impression of posters stuck on a wall or a collage in a book. The colours used are red, black, greys and pink. The pink writting and the font of 'Dirty Little' is a good choice of font, it links to the idea of dirty dancing which was written in the same font. It is an interview so it features questions and answers. The questions are in pink, the speaker in red and answer in white. This seperates the text and make it easy to read. Certain words are written in bold, red font to make them stand out. These words include 'All American Rejects' (the name of the band) and 'Don't be fooled'. The fact that they are both in red suggests that they are connected and that they are important points within the sentence. The first paragraph of the article suggests slight humour and this humour is carried on throughout the interview.
