Red and white is used frequently in kerrang magazine, and this double page spread keeps to that convention. Red and white are bold colours that attract the reader by standing out to them. All the important information is highlighted in red and white and it contrasts with the black background. The sepia tone reflects the music of MCR, gothic opera. It reflects the darkness in their music as well as the traditional elements of gothic music giving the page an old fashioned effect. Quotes are used from MCR, typical of the magazine. This highlights the most important information and draws the readers attention to it. The images are of MCR when recording, and performing rather than a traditional band photo of them stood in front of the camera. This gives the reader more of an insight to the band, they don't normally get to see this sort of thing therefore they become more interested. The images still conform to the rock image, black clothes and dark hair is a common feature in rock bands, usually the type used in kerrang magazine.
