Analysis of Double-page spreads




There is a main photo of dominating the page taken in a mid close up shot front ways with the artists fitted closely together within the pose with  one of the members at the centre of the composition and the other remaining members behind looking at the camera from the side. The costumes that they are wearing fit with the rock image of dark and edgy but with shirts, ties and bows which presents the artists as sophisticated.Their facial features also made the band seem serious but also, intimidating as they look into the camera. The page is generally uses dark characters to fit within the picture however, the brightness resends from the red of the heart in the form of a grenade in a animated hand which is a logo of the bands and relates to the main quote next to the logo and gives the reader an idea of one of the topics that bands talk to in the interview. There is a clear main heading with a bold and unique font in a dark green colour which is ironic to the fact that the heading is 'Green Day', the colour choice fits well with background of the photo which in addition highlights the band members eyes.The introductory paragraph is highlighted in red which stands out to the audience and is used to inform those who are unaware of the band. The use of a cliche for a sub heading to attract readers and also, a small picture is placed at the top right head corner which is in metallic black and white effect is used which unusual to see in other magazine conventions.


  Introduction to the band covering how they are and they're music also, mentioning their change as they are 'maturing' which informs those who are not familiar with the band. This is placed separate to the article itself and in the top left hand corner to enable it to be eye catching 
to the reader.The main cover line is bright and stands out on top of the imagined is fitted in a circular shape to be able to fit with the composition of the image of which it is taken at a high angle mid close up shot of the members.The sub heading is catchy with the idea that band is bringing a new sound into the industry.The editing within the photo is the background is blackened out the edges out which allows the text to be seen also, the colour scheme fits within the rock genre of the dark tone. The article uses a embedded quote from the interview which could sum up the topic of the interview and it has explicit language which represent them as not very courteous and seen as badass to the readers along with the facial expressions demonstrates that they are fun loving.

 Mid close up shot of the artist looking straight up at the camera making the artist seem confident.The left page is covered with the text of the article and within the background of this text is an L shape boldly in red this gives the reader the indication that the letter is an intial of the artist. Top right hand corner is the artists name in a different font to show its importance and stand out.
