Double page spread 2

This is ‘Metal hammer’ magazine, doing a double page spread on a rock musician named Slash.
The whole first page consists of a main image and a model quote ‘my first guitar only had one string on it’. The man is wearing typically dark clothes as associated with rock and his tattoos and sunglasses make him out to be edgy and distant. He is holding a guitar which links his quote to the image and it’s also an instrument commonly used in rock music. This is an iconic image and it shows the man how he would typically look.

The layout on the other page is really clear, with more pictures which make it more interesting to look at and a slightly different colour scheme to normal magazines in that it is red and white writing on a black background. There is a large introductory paragraph describing the man who is shown on the other page and some of the achievements he has obtained over his life, so if the reader hadn’t heard of him before, he now possesses some information. The rest of the article is in interview form, the questions being asked are in red so you can define between the questions and answers. The font used is clear and easy to read and the information provided is straight to the point.
Because of the amount of guitars around the pages and the fact that he is holding one in the photo, it’s clear that this man is a famous guitarist, something you could easily tell without even reading the article.

The box at the top gives a small introduction as to what the feature will be about and an amp in the top corner signifies loud music which is typical of rock and it contains what I think is the title of the whole article.
I like the fact that it’s in interview form and that the colour scheme is slightly different to those I have seen before. I also like the large image on the first page so theres no mistaking who and what the article is about.
