The main image is of lead singer Gerard Way and it is an image of him performing live; this was used to support the article about their live shows. In the top left third it says 'world exclusive' this exclusivity will attract many new readers to buy this issue of the magazine as they can't read it anywhere else.Next to this is also says 'news' to highlight it' an important article. Below this also gives a link to the magazines website, this shows that their target audience are frequent internet users so this appeals to them. There is a pull quote featured in the top middle third that says "We're being the best mcr we can be!" this shows this is an important part of the text so is placed there in large, different coloured, capitalised font to make it really stand out to the reader. There are a lot of secondary images to support this article too; they are all anchored with text and a lot of them are jokes or puns to make the article more light-hearted. The images are all black and white too and this makes them look more serious and dramatic; they also aren't too bold or distracting so don't draw any attention away from the text. This could have been done so the reader reads the article first rather than looking more at the images and skim reading the article.
White text is used for most of this article and this goes really well with the black background and red is used to highlight certain parts of the article such as the exclusive and news signs at the top. Red has also been used to highlight important parts of pull quotes, the sub headings and the first letter of the article. Red, black and white are all really bold colours so this article will really stand out to a reader and encourage them to do it. The article looks quite serious but has some fun aspects to it too. Overall I think this article looks really good and the font style, images and colours all work really well together to produce a really appealing article.
