Textual Analysis Double page spead 1

This is a double page spread from the magazine 'Rolling Stone' which features the band, The Killers. This double page spread is mainly, one big image, of all 4 members of the band. The image is in black and white which makes the band's faces whiter and makes them stand out from the page, it also does this with their hands, this is important because they are all making the same shape with their hands a bit like a claw, this could symbolise there attitudes and feelings about music and the hand action could symbolise that they want to get out of the page, therefore could mean that they want to explore music. All the members of the band are looking in different directions however the singer of the band (3rd from the left) is looking directly into the camera, and is more towards the camera than the others behind him. This tells the audience who the singer is and also the eye contact would catch the eyes of the audience therefore bringing them to there attention so that they would read the article.They is very little text on this page, the main headline reads 'The Killers' and 'Inside' below in smaller text. The headline 'The Killers' is the name of the band, which informs the reader about what and who the article is going to be about. It is in big blocked lettering, and is the biggest text on the page, and the most important.
