5. Double page spread analysis
The double page spread is very effective. The clear presentation has been thought
about carefully, I can clearly identify that the double page spread was an interview also.
The contrast of red and black suit it to the magazines style. The image of ‘The All
American Rejects’ is quirky as they have all different facial expressions and poses. The
snapshots of the band photos round the side of the main image make it seem as the
audience have insight into their personal lives as well matching with the whole idea of
the interview. The ‘Dirty little secrets’ makes it seem revealing and appeal to girls. The
‘Dirty little’ is in a different font, almost making it look a bit sexualised in a violet colour.
The ‘secrets’ is in bold making it seem like the band are going to reveal all. The black is a
good foundation colour for making the white writing stand out. The use of colours has
been carefully constructed as there is only 4. The start of the interview says ‘ The All
American Rejects might look and sound like a band your mum would approve of, but
don’t be fooled, Tyson and his crew dish out the dirt. This automatically makes it
revealing that the bad do have a rebellious side which may be attractive to girls. ‘The
line dish out the dirt’ almost makes it seem like they will spill the beans and tell all
about their personal lives which I think the magazine aims to do. The main artist in the
band has his own small interview on the right hand side of the page.
