Double Page Spread Analysis: Rocksound



This double page spread is about the band All Time Low and their goals for 2011.
They play pop punk/alternative rock, which is quite lighthearted and fun. Therefore, the colour scheme is very bright and cheerful.
The men in the band are thought of as very attractive and the frontman, Alex Gaskarth, has been voted as one of the sexiest males. The photo applies to both males and females because to males, it's just a photo of one of their favourite bands, and to females, they're a few really good looking men who create good music.
The text box stands out on the page, and the bold numbers show you that it's some kind of interview. The text are statements that the band have made and then their comments, so it feels almost as if the band is talking to you as a person, and it makes you feel like you know them and you're on a much more personal level. Because it's them speaking, you feel like you can believe what you're reading because there's no journalists to make it something that it isn't.
In the top right hand corner, there is the Rock Sound sign for 'ones to watch' which is a continous feature throughout the magazine. This makes you want to read the article because you want to know why they're so special and why Rock Sound think they're one to watch out for.
In the bottom left hand corner, there is a quote from the frontman, Alex Gaskarth, and a picture of him. These quotes on these particular articles are often inspirational or thought provoking, which shows you just how talented these musicians are.
