MOJO double page spread analysis:


-        The huge drop cap in the top left of the page creates a fixated starting point for the article, the serif styled font makes the W seem to point down, and into the block of the text.
-       The overall tone and mode of address created by this is to help show that this article is not about the present day; it is a constant reminder that is a look into the past, also ironically it is the colours used within the album the articles is focused around.
-       The huge picture of the members of Nirvana taken in black and white is also to help focus this tone further. The fact that they are sat upon the bonnet of a car that has been smashed by the closing garage door conveys the lack of care they have for the society around them, which is something key to their music style and genre.
-       The ratio between the pictures and the text is 3/5 picture and 2/5 writing, this creates a heavy focus upon the imagery on the page and what we as the audience perceive from it.
-       The large pull- out quote on the first page of the double page spread creates emotion and humour for the rest of the article to work off of. ‘SHUT UP BITCH!’ is separated in font size and colour which again connotes the humour surrounding the article and so the band.

-       The lede and kicker for the first part of this article is very large in comparison to the main block of the article in terms of font size.
