This article is called 'Highway to Health' and the name is a spoof of the very famous ACDC song Highway to Hell. The article is about how disasters in the rock world throughout the past year and it is told by the vocalist of Arch Enemy, Angela Gossow.
The text is set out in a column form and is quite small font size. The title is very large and everyone would read the article because everyone reading this magazine will know ACDC and their music, and playing on the song title in this way will intrigue them.
The writing underneath it tells you exactly what the article is about, but the ... at the end makes the reader want to carry on reading and it takes your interest because you want to know what the tragedies of this year have been and how it has affected this band.
The picture of the woman isn't a very pretty picture, because that is not what Kerrang is about. The picture gives the feeling that she didn't make any effort for that photo to be taken. She's clenching her fists, and this gives the impression of being strong, which links with the article because it talks about the deaths, etc that have occurred this year and the picture suggests she has been emotionally strong and is dealing with this situation. Her eyes look almost as if she could burst into tears at any moment, and this shows how sad she is, but she is holding her head up and she makes the reader think that although these tragedies have knocked her, she will get up and stand strong.
The writing on the page is black and the background is a dark grey on the page where the text is and a lighter grey where the picture is. This shows that where the tragedies are, there were dark times, but as the woman is strong, lighter times lay ahead.
