The double page spread features a large image of the band to draw attention. The dark color scheme of red, white, and black appeals to the emo audience. A quote is highlighted in contrasting color to stand out. The words "the best MCR" are in a different color to emphasize them. It advertises a "world exclusive" interview to make readers feel unique. The article is shown small with large images and headlines to entice readers. Questions from fans are in bold text to stand out in the interview.

1. The main image is takes up the whole left page - this is to focus attention on the band as the
image is so large – it has a ‘stand out’ effect.
The colour scheme of the page is very dark with red white and black – colour schemes that
often appeal to the ‘emo’ audience – a genre of music the band is often associated with. The
dark background also makes lighter colours stand out more. For example, the quote 'We’re
being the best MCR we can be’ is very eye catching because of the contrast to the
background and the combination of colour. This draws the audience in. The font is very
consistent throughout the page and the words 'the best MCR' are in a different colour,
purposely making those three words stand out more – the connotation created is that either
the band are at their best form, or trying very hard to be so.
We also see the words ' world exclusive' shown on the top of the DPS. Using this phrase
makes the reader feel unique as ‘exclusive’ means no other magazine has this information.
This makes the audience want to read more. The article shown here is in very small writing
and everything else surrounding it making them seem more dominant and stand out more.
The article is shown to be small because it’s not very appealing if the reader is just seeing a
whole article taking up most of the page without interesting graphics. This way there’s more
space to put better eye catching images and headlines to draw the reader in.

2. This double page spread is for an interview with a band. Readers of the magazine [rocksound] have
sent their questions in and a chosen few are the ones the band is asked. The questions are in a bold
format of text so they stand out.
There is a ‘cut out’ formatting for pictures which is typical of rocksound [see cover analysis]. This has
a sense of consistency and keeps the magazine looking professional.
Colour scheme of white background with brown/gold/black which is fairly simplistic so it’s not too
over crowed with colour as a member of the band is wearing bright colours which add interest to the
article.
Direct speech/Quotes of the band to keep it a consistent interview and to avoid disrespecting the
band.
