1. The color scheme of the magazine
includes grey, white, red and
green- which are all quite punk-
esque colors. The green heading
draws the reader’s eye in and
relates to the band being Green
Day.
The more minor stories
are headed in red, the
font is also significantly
smaller.
The light grey background
compliments the band’s black
clothes.
The black border around the
white writing is a great
contrast and really stands
out, draws the eye in. It’s a
very monochromatic theme
and links in again with the
punk-esque vibe. The
different artists are separated
by equally contrasting red
stars.
The issue number tells
the reader how long the
magazine has been
running and therefore,
whether it is successful.
The white color of
the heading stands
our brilliantly
against the black
and grey and the
aggressive,
exuberant font
choice really links
in with the punk
theme.
The position of the band
members is significant as
the closest person to the
camera is the most
important, working
down to the least
important being furthest
away.
The photo is a ‘head and
shoulders’ shot to evoke
more emphasis on the
bizarre facial features which
again, links in with the wild
side of being in a punk
band. This shot is an
example of Direct Mode of
Address and forms a
connection with the reader.

2. The color scheme of the
contents page is very different
to that of the front cover- the
colors are more ‘toned down’ ,
makes it easier on the eyes after
the loud, bright font cover.
The main colors are grey, red
and black- it’s still bordering
rock-related colors but not as
high-impact. The red
numbering stands out so the
reader knows what pages to
turn to.
The black bold font are the
article headings and the
smaller black font tells the
reader what the article is
about.
The shot of Billie Joe is a
medium shot (waist
upwards) as that is where
the detail is focused. It is
better to have this shot as a
close-up shot because the
picture may portray a
different affect on the
reader. E.G; a close-up shot
of his face, encapsulates his
expression and those
earphones which brings the
main focus on music.
The main bright colour
that really stands out is
Billie Joe’s scarf- it draws
the eye into the shot of
Billie and links in with the
rocky pop-art-esque feel.
The bold black fonts
are parallel to each
other which makes it
easy for the reader to
read. The writing
headlined in bold are
what the reader should
be paying attention to,
like the contents
header and date
number.

3. As we can see, one
page is dedicated to a
full scale picture of
Green Day which could
signify their influence
on the music industry
and the full scale shot
of them feels very
powerful and superior
which would relate to
this iconic rock band’s
impact.
The colour scheme of the next page is based on fiery
colours which could relate to the sexual euphemism
in the article.
The most significant
writing is headlined in
bold red (like the sub-
heading ) to catch the
eye of the reader.
