Language - The image on this double page spread takes up one full page but then also goes onto the next page as well. The image is Taylor Momsen and she is the lead singer of the famous American rock band The Pretty Reckless. The image is of her posing with her long blonde hair and her heavy eye makeup. The blonde hair and heavy eye makeup is a symbol of been a rock chick. The masthead of this specific article is in a bold font which stands out against the black background. The word 'Wild' is in a pink font which stands out against the background. The word 'Child' is in a large bold white font which also stands out against the background and also contrasts well with the pink writing. The article is a Kerrang! editor asking Taylor questions and she is answering them. The questions are in a pink colour which is the same as the masthead ('Wild'). This is used so that you can tell the difference between the questions and answers. The answers are in a white font which is the same as the masthead ('Child'). This makes the article stand out and it also shows consistency throughout the article.
