LIIAR Analysis of Kerrang Double Page Spread

 L: By the language used in this Kerrang double page spread, we get the impression that the artist (Lilly Allen) gets a lot of things said about her as the pull quote which is used a headline states; ‘People think I’m an attention seeker, but i’m just honest’. By the font used it gives off the representataion that these things have been said about Lilley Allen in the newspaper. This is because the font looks like newspaper cut outs.

I: The publisher for Kerrang Magazine is the Bauer Media Group. The Bauer Media Group are a worldwide company, and they operate in 15 different countries. They are based in Hamburg, Germany.

I: The ideology of this double page spread is to give an interview or an article with Lilly Allen. I think the Kerrang producers have tried to make the spread maybe a bit controversial. This is because it’s a quite out there quote that Lilly Allen has used, and people who dislike her will disagree with the pull quote and say that she is an attention seeker. The Mise en Scene in this double page spread also helps back up the point that Kerrangs ideology has been to make this spread slightly controversial. For example Lilly’s hair is black and her eyes have black round them. Also the top she is wearing looks very casual which could be to suggest that she doesn’t care what the critic say about her.

A: The target audience for Kerrang Magazine is 15-19 year old's.

R: This double page spread is represented to the audience in most of the traditional ways a double page spread is conveyed. However some things are different, like the pull quote is used at the headline to the article/interview whereas in most double page spreads the pull quote is just placed at the side of the text and they have a totally separate headline. Over double page spread conventions have stayed the same though, for example a large image and a drop cap.
