This double page spread is from the music magazine: ‘Rolling Stone’, and features the band ‘Kings of Leon. Taking up the majority of the space is a large image of the band. The image is very simple and features them sitting on chairs up against a plain concrete background being lit by a single light bulb.
The text is very simple and is almost totally question and answer, but this is made the subject of the article at the top the Q&R emblem at the top of the first page. The font used is formal and also simplistic, and all of the text is fitted onto 2/3 of the first page, which is common for more and more double page spreads.
Below the title is a short paragraph introducing the band and the interview, and the total interview features five questions with long answers. The whole article is very simple and formal. The image takes up the majority of space, which is seen on nearly every interview in the modern magazines, but features much more text than usual, even though it is a short interview. I think it is targeted at fans of the band, as its not portrayed as an exciting interview reviewing some new material that the band has made, so mostly only Kings of Leon fans will want to read it.
The whole article is simplistic and effective for fans but I think if it was someone who hadn’t heard of the band was reading the magazine they would skip the article as it doesn’t attract new readers. The article has plain colours and fonts, with a plain layout; nothing out of the ordinary attracts the readers eye, but still interesting for fans of the band.
