Analysing double page spread

I am now going to analyse Kerrang double page spread. Firstly something very prominent about these pages is that they are they the majority images. I think this shows us that the images are important in this article, as they have a Japanese theme to the article. Their new album is called Shogun which is a Japanese name, and Matt Heafy who we see in this article is half Japanese, so they are playing up to the whole Japanese theme. We see aspects of Japanese culture throughout the double page spread in the symbols behind the font, the geisha in the middle photo and Japanese symbols tattooed on his back. I think they have chosen to follow a theme because it makes the double page spread more engaging to read for the reader, as it is kind of like a story and adds another level to the article rather than just boring questions and a normal photo of the artist.
The images are also quite sexual, which adds to an element of rock and roll the Kerrang likes to portray. Matt Heafy appears. Also this article is promoting the band, and young boys will look up to this image and think they are really cool and glamorous.
It follows a colour scheme so the article is not too messy and we feel we can read it at ease.
