KERRANG double page spread analysis:

-       ‘Build your own revolution’ the backdrop to the picture for the 3 members of Gnarwolves, which is painted onto the plain white sheet with ‘revolution’ written larger and in red paint rather than black.
-       Throughout the article there is a theme involving paint, one of these is the use of a brush of paint to separate blocks of text from one another, this connotes the hands on and DIY idea this band seem to follow.
-       The colour theme chosen here is black, red and white. These colours are very basic but are very effective because of this, the red connotes the power and energy the band wish to generate. Whereas the black and the white create contrast, which helps focus the article and the structure chosen to guide it.
-       The stance the band is positioned in is a very effective method of changing the entire mood of the article. Here we see the lead singer knelt in front of the other members with an out stretched hand holding a spray can, (which relates to the DIY aspect again.) all 3 are covers in tattoos and are dressed like skateboarders, mostly because that’s what they really are. These all connate the background and social group the band are in, and in some ways now represent.
-       Noticeably throughout the double page spread there are small images of things such as: skateboards and wheels, images from famous skate brands and covers of their hand made albums. These all give context and connote the bands views and hobbies.
