DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD DECONSTRUCTION 2

This double page spread has graphology which demonstrates a main image, strap line, text colomn and masthead. The main image is spread across the two pages and displays a photograph of the band, Mallory Knox.

Unlike other double page spread interviews, this one does not start with a dropcap. Instead, it uses subtitles or subheadings to almost catergorise the aspects of the interview; this may make it easier for the reader as the columns are summed up. The colour scheme is varied, as it has a fading effect. For instance, the masthead fades from red to yellow, and the background fades from dark into green. This connotes a new, fresh effect which reflects this new and upcoming band. The colour red is repeated again for the subheading, to highlight part of the strapline, but also through the clothing worn by 2 of the band members.

The text varies from white to black, depening on the colour of the background, so that the reader can still make out what it says. For instance, the strapline in white is against a dark colour whereas the black text of the interview is against a lighter green background. If these colours were swapped, the text would be unclear and difficult to read.

The main image is spread across both pages, so that the image can be enlarged but also so it dominates the page. The camera angle is tilted slightly upwards, to portray power over the new band - possible potential, for example - and to show clearly who the band are.

The first column of the interview includes a rhetorical question - immediately engaging the reader and making them think, as if involving them. Similarly, the strapline makes the reader want to continue finding out about this band due to the enthusiasm about the way they've played "mainstage" at festivals and have sold "thousands" of albums. Furthermore, Rocksound mention how this is their first cover feature interview with Mallory Knox, which may make fans of the band purchase the publication and attract more readers. It may also make current readers find interest in the band, as they are a similar genre to the focus of the magazine. The strapline pretty much sums up 2013 for Mallory Knox, letting fans and readers of the magazine have an insight as to their success and progress and what they may achieve throughout the next year.
