Columns have been used to organise the chart for the best to last My Chemical Romance album, picked by the readers of Kerrang! The images are organised by an image of each album in every little review for each album, there’s photos of the band on the DPS. The headline takes up about 40% of the left page, the other 60% is taken up by a picture of Gerard Way and then 3 columns of a letter from Frank Iero, a member of My Chemical Romance, and the other columns are of the album reviews. The colour helps organise the page because it uses the same colours throughout the article and the colours also tie in with the colour scheme of the magazine. The picture of Gerard Way is slightly layered on top of the article Masthead ‘Welcome to the Chart Parade!’. The connotations of red are blood, love and anger. The connotations of white are innocence, purity and light. The connotations of yellow are warning, warmth and happiness. The connotations of black are death, mystery and evil. Photos have been used of the band, and the lead singer Gerard Way, to give you more information on the band, but just like the people who were chosen to appear in NME, are very well known to fans of this genre of music. My Chemical Romance have been used in this issue of Kerrang, because they are well known to the magazines demographic, and they have been out for years and just quit the music business, so they would have a lot to talk about. The POV of the article would be the bands, because they are reminiscing in the moments when they had made these albums and the tracks for the albums. It gives the band a chance to look back at what they’ve done, and it also gives the reader a chance to remember the moments of the albums coming out or any little memories of the band they have. The size of the text is readable and I would say it’s a medium text, because it’s not small enough where you can’t read it, the font is just a simple font, so that’s also readable for the reader. Throughout the article, there will be some jargon language used, only words that the people who buy this magazine or who listens to this genre of music will understand. People from other bands have been asked how they feel about some songs of My Chemical Romance’s and it shows the reader how influential they are to other people.
