I believe that this is a very interesting double page spread out of the Kerrang! magazine, as this follows conventions of a double page spread but goes against a lot of other conventions that are considered important to a magazine.
Firstly this magazine has a title in the top left hand corner, this title is one of the sections that i pointed out on the contents page that split up the magazines pages into sections. So therefore this title in the top left is showing what section of the magazine that this article fits into. Again it follows the convention of Kerrang! magazine as it is in white font with black around it. This colour theme is carried on throughout this double page spread, as even the article itself is written in black but is made to have a white background. The colour scheme is all conotates contrast, and shows what this magazine is about, that this magazine is a contrast to many other magazines and has its own unique music genre which the magazine is based on.
The picture however does not follow conventions of a magazine, this is because it doesn't only just take up the whole of one side of the double page spread it actually takes up approximately half of the other page aswell. This is to make the picture look more powerful, and maybe to connotate how powerful the person in the picture is. This is reinforced by the picture, as it is of a man with a sleeveless top on with lots of tattoos shouting into a microphone, the man in the picture is also muscly. This and the fact that the picture is taken from a low angle all present the man as being very powerful and rebellious.
Around this main picture there are five other smaller pictures all with white borders around them, this border is chosen because the white contrasts with the dark colours behind it. Again this carries on the theme of colours. Three of these pictures have guitars in them and shows what type of band this article is about.
