Looking at a variety of Kerrang's double page spreads which feature popular artists and bands over two pages i was able to identify the differences of them easily. Although they were very different and not identicle they do share some common features.

Double page spread analysis
A double page spread is a feature or article about a specific topic. The article is featured over two pages within the magazine. The band/artist featured must be very well known as a double page spread is the most important feature within a music magazine. This must make the read want to buy the magazine. It is a main selling point.

Investigating mise en scene
The definition of mise en scene is everything in the frame. I chose three female rock artists and analysed everything in the frame of the image.
The three artists i chose were from different bands.

Costume analysis
I looked at some current female rock artists. Here i analysed their hair, make up and clothing. This helped me to think of some of how my own models for my band and other artists will look.

Costume ideas
From looking at different rock artists such as Hayley williams and Halestorm i was able to pick out some common features in their hair, make up and clothing which suggest they are from the same genre of music but have their own individual style because they are different people.
By looking at different clothing hair and make up styles of female rock artists i was able to think up ideas for my own models who i will use in my music magazine and how to show simalarities and differences within my two female models.

Location and Reconnaissance
The locations which are featured in rock magazines are symbolise the origin of the bands and artists and also show the style music which they are from.
In my reconnaissance i presemt images of the park background for my images. The red and orange colours of the leaves symbolise the season of year. The park bench symbolises the traditional british look. Interviews of bands in Kerrang magazine are sometimes presented in a field or park which shows englands lanscapes and symbolism.

Font ideas
I decided to look at some different fonts and decide on the one i would use for my mast head. On the first page i felt they were not appropriate and did not fit the rock music genre. I felt the word 'Smash' should look smashed and distorted and destryoyed because it is onematapiea of the word as breaking things is a stereotype of rock bands and should be ironic. This will also make it stand out. I used the website 'DaFont' to find fonts to fit this idea. The second page i found was a lot better and it was hard to decide on a final font.
I chose the final font which is called skratchpunk as it is quite suttle but effective at the same time because it is scratched and very distorted and it is what i had in mind for the font. This font tells the audience the genre of the magazine is rock. This is shown by the writing being big and bold which looks like the word is being shouted out, this is how rock music is accosiated as also. The font is not perfect and is scratched, this shows the magazine is raw and realistic and very down to earth, this makes it easy for the reader to relate to this magazine as it talks to them almost like a friend. This will attract the audience because it stands out. The font looks cracked and shows the reader the atricles inside vary in different bands, like a clash of rivals which excited the reader and makes them want t read on. It also shares simmilarities with Kerrang's font from being slightly destroyed however it is different at the same time which creates the magazines own individual identity.
