Layout/ Text
To begin with, there is a definite consistency within this page in comparison to the content’s and cover page. Again the layout is very neat and easy on the eye, like the cover and the content’s page; the layout is very basic yet works really well. The colours go well together and create a really good effect. Kerrang has never had a newspaper type of effect when looking at previous editions, they always like creating a neat chaotic mess. It always creates an effect of representing its music genre; this is more of a music magazine effect when comparing it up against the Q magazine. There isn’t a Kerrang banner indicating it’s an interview, it’s almost relying on the reader to know it’s an interview by what they have seen on the cover and going to the pain by reference from the content’s page. Unlike Q with is newspaper layout type of thing, the quote is on the image which I feel makes more sense as its adds a more personal effect to the person your interviewing and makes it more of their story
The colour scheme is the main consistency, we can see throughout all the Kerrang pages I have analysed so far is the same colour scheme, green white black and shades of other colors. What I have noticed about the image is that they are the same images throughout; it’s from the same photo shoot and from the same place. Repeating my point, this gives consistency, however if you think about it, it would be confusing seeing different pictures of the same artists in completely different places dressed completely irrelevant to what he article is about, it doesn’t seem very organised.
Identity
There is a lot of identity within this image, Identity as mentioned before is part of the gratification theory. I feel that it’s important for identity to amplify when having a very personal interview, as it gives more effect on the reader. As we can see, Villie is showing his identity on the topic, very plain face yet dressed up as the whole rock star but laid back thus giving not only a personal effect but the effect people will adapt and take from his style.
Information
Information is the most important part regarding a magazine article as the main purpose is to inform the reader; this again is part of the gratification theory as people want to know the latest to keep up and follow the crowed. The information predominately conveyed through this article is personal things, personal events and this helps the reader as everyone has the assumption have perfect lives so this lets the fans know he is human as well.
