This double page spread is taken from the magazine, Kerrang. The photos used on these pages make the article special. This is because it shows pictures of this group in every aspect of their musical life; recording, performing and making decisions in the studio. This gives an insight into their lives for the reader to feel that they have learnt something about the group and might feel as if they know them. For fans, this is important as they can relate further to a group's music.
The font used for the quote is in the same style as one of their album covers. This makes the article seem even more authentic and aesthetically pleasing. Fan's would pick up on this aspect. The colours also contrast from the black background making the text stand out from the page. If someone was to flick through a magazine, the way this page is laid out with the pictures and text, it would be hard not to stop and read it. This is why i think this is effective.
Another feature of this double page spread is the "lowdown" of new tracks. This gives extra information in a small space so the page is not only just information about the band. The way it is set out makes it easier to read as there is not just one chunk of text. this means that people are not daunted by the amount of reading and they are less likely to get bored half way through. It is also something that you don't usually get when magazines are talking about a band therefore it is an added bonus.
