LIIAR Analysis: Double Page Spread

The double page spread (the image on the right) represents the rock band Aerosmith and they would have been on the front cover as well. There's a large image on the left, as it would catch your eye and it's also conventional to have a large image. There are also pull quotes between various paragraphs in the article in the feature colour (red) as this is conventional and is like a quick way of finding out what they have said in the article. They also have included drop caps (maximising the beginning letter of a paragraph) as that's also conventional. The various images on the double page spread are in black and white and shows the band on stage; this connotes what their music is about and the kind of outfits they wear. There's also a smaller article to the right of the double page spread; this is conventional to feature another short article on the band to give more details about them.

Again, most of the photos are in black and white and the members have long hair, which connotes their music genre as being rock. They are also wearing tight jeans and jewellery, as that’s what rock bands used to wear. The magazine also represents the band Aerosmith as being energetic and lively, like a typical rock band, as the photos of Steven Tyler (the main front man) involve him dancing on stage.
