1. The image is a long shot, it is also in the middle of the
page and over two pages. This shows the importance
of the artist to the article. They are also set out in the
way you would expect a band to line up at a gig. They
are all wearing things that consist to colours similar to
the colour scheme of the page. The artists all look like
they are quite rocky and a very messy band and this is
shown in the clothes that they are wearing. There is
also smaller images located around the page. This
could be there to show all the different members play
their part to the band but the big image shows that
they need each other to make up the band.
The text is separated into the
columns. This makes the text look
controlled and makes it for the
user to read. The white writing is
also used as it is featured in the
colour scheme. The first word of
each paragraph is emphasised
because it in bold and written in
red whereas the rest of the font in
the paragraph is in white. This is a
good feature because the reader
will then be attracted to the
paragraph and will be more likely
to read it. Also the writing that is in
bigger letters looks like it is fading
away and looks dirty. This could be
used to show that type of music
they do is very old style of music.
Also the ‘DIRTY LITTLE’ part is
written in lettering that was used
in some legendary rock bands. This
could also be shown to link that
the music is old.
The headline of the text is also in bold and is
capital letters. This is used to show the
importance of the artist to the
interview/article. It is also used to make it look
sophisticated and appeal more to the reader
and attract the attention. The fact that the
name of the artist is spread out and bigger
shows that the artist is the main feature. The
headline of the article is also the name of one
of their hit singles.
The page has a lot of black and red
on it. There is also a little bit of
white but that only features on the
text. The colour scheme consists of
quite dark colours. The red is used
to represent danger and the black
is used to represent gothic/rock
music. This fits in with the
magazine type as the magazine is
aimed at people that listen to that
sort of music.
2. The image is a medium close up and takes up a whole
page and a little bit of the other page. This shows the
importance of the artist to the article. The image also
has a lack of colour and they all have the instrument
they play in their hands. They are also set out in the
way you would expect a band to line up at a gig. They
are all wearing the similar colours and are similar to
the colour scheme of the page. The artists all look like
they are quite rocky and a very messy band. This is
shown in the way they dress. Also the blue lines on
the page lead the persons eye to the image.
The text is separated into the
columns. This makes the text look
controlled and makes it for the
user to read. There is also a big L in
the background of the text and the
L represents the first letter of the
artists name. The black writing
could also link to the fact that the
colour scheme and page looks very
old and messy like
The headline of the text is also in bold and is
capital letters. This is used to show the
importance of the artist to the
interview/article. It is also used to make it look
sophisticated and appeal more to the reader
and attract the attention. The fact that the
name of the artist is spread out and bigger
shows that the artist is the main feature. The
artists name is also lacks colour just like the
image of the band.
The first letter of each paragraph is
emphasised because it bigger that
the rest of the letters and stands
out. However, this could be bad
because it may drag the readers
attention to the bit only so they
may not read all the article.
The page also looks old and like it
is very washed out. This could be
used to show that the style of
music they do is very grunge like
and the genre they do has a lot of
history as it is an old type of music.
There is also little bits of blue on
the page. The front person has
tape on his guitar and the blue
could show that they have broken
their instruments so are sticking
them together with the blue tape.
3. The image is a close up and takes up a whole page.
This shows the importance of the artist to the article.
The image also has a red light shining on him, he is
wearing glasses and looks like a serious person. The
person is also wearing a big chain which could show
that he is a wealthy powerful man. This could link to
the colour red of the J and the fact that it could have
the connotation of danger and power.

There is a lot of red and black on
the pages. There is also a lot of
white over the two pages too.
These colours are used as they also
feature in the colour scheme of the
magazine Q.
