Double Page Spread Analysis 1


Language: The language used in this double page spread would be mainly informative language as the article is telling us about the band. But despite it being informative, it would still stick with its aggressive and threating language as the magazine is about rock and metal music.

Institution:  Again, we know that the magazine is an commercial magazine as it is advertising their website in the top left corner, and by the looks of it in the top right corner it is advertising subscribing to their magazine. It is also helping to advertise the bands tour by naming all the UK tour dates.

Ideology: The main ideology of this double page spread is to talk about the band Five Finger Death Punch and tell the audience why they are one of the best new bands on the metal scene. Again it is also raising awareness of Metal as a whole.

Audience: It is a clear cut audience here, the main audience of this double page spread would be fans of the band, or people who are looking for new music to listen to and find this band interesting.

Representation: The color scheme of the double page spread is red, black and gray. This is to relate with the music genre that the band is. The name of the band is in big, bold, red font so that if you are flicking through the pages it will easily catch your eye. In the main picture, the front man of the band has been placed in front of all his band mates to show that he is the main man. The picture was also placed on the street to show that they are rough people. Furthermore, it is slight discolored.
