Becca's Similar Product Research (DPS) - Metal Hammer Issue 212



This double page spread is from the magazine Metal Hammer, Issue 212 and is about Cradle of Filth. Is is picture led and the picture is clearly staged and edited. There is a caption in a black box next to the picture. The article about 'Darkly Devious Dani' is started with a leading capital which makes the beginning of the article clear. There is a byline under the main heading which tells us who wrote the article and who took the picture. The title of the article is in capital letters and all in the same font apart from 'devious' which is artwork/graphic design, the design style matches the meaning of the word as it looks like its scribbled/scratched. The articles mode of address is formal, even though the theme is heavy metal, the writer expects that the reader can cope with big, complicated words, such as 'equilibrium'. At the bottom of the page there is a pull quote, which is a piece of text pulled from the article and made big and bold so that it is known to be an important part of the article. The background is a white brick wall which makes the four colour print of black, red, grey and flesh stand out.
