My analysis of the Doves double page spread!

I have analysed a double page spread from the Mojo Magazine featuring the Kings of Leon on the front cover.

When looking at this double page spread i noticed many things the pictures are scattered around on the page mixing images and text together making the page look more interesting. The main picture is a member of the band playing the guitar with the lighting contrasting the title "Two nights in bird land", which is also a pun headline as the band is called Doves. The other images in black and white gives connotations of tough and shows they are more of a old band.

When looking at the structure of the article it starts off as a review of the Doves and then goes on to talk about the biography. The use of rhetorical questions such as "do you know what i mean?" suggests this was part of an interview talking to the band. Then a discussion about one of the band members dad being a rockstar and him following in his footsteps. Journalisic comments are made throughout the peice such as "that it has" shows them agreeing with the band. A lot of the speech is very colloquial showing it was a relaxed interview and reflects there background. The mention of other artist such as Lady Gaga shows context for a younger audiences.

Finally the little section on the bottom right hand side uses a lot more taboo language which is a lot more informal.
