Language - Lots of dark colours used, mostly red and black, with all pictures in greyscale, to reflect MCR's emo style of music. This is further conveyed by the main image, a mid-shot of the singer looking away from the camera and the reader, as well as a headshot of one of the band members shouting in the corner of the page. The headline stands out against the dark colours of the rest of the page, especially the words "The best MCR", displayed in large white text to stand out agaisnt the colour black and get the attention of the reader.
Institution - Bauer Media
Ideology - The spread conveys a sense of darkness and sadness through the use of black and greyscale, as well as the content of the images, especially the main image. It also gives the message that MCR are getting better, as stated in the large, instantly noticeable headline.
Audience - The audience for this article are mainly fans of MCR, mostly early teenagers, who will see the large stand-out "MCR" and the main image of the singer and want to read the article.
Representation - The spread represents MCR as being somewhat of an emo band, which would be seen as positively by the band's fans who would be the audience for this article. This is also an accurate representation of the band's style and music.
