Rocksound Double Page Spread Analysis

                                         Rocksound Double Page Spread Analysis

The pages are from a live performance by Andy Biersack; the interviewee and his band the Black Veiled Brides. The picture takes the whole page and the colour behind Andy makes him stand out really well because of the deep contrast of his black attire against what I can assume is a mixture of pyro and smoke. The image of Andy is a mid-shot of him performing. The pages are littered with logos which promote the show that Andy was playing at and some of its main sponsors like ‘Monster’ and ‘Vans’. The header itself certainly draws attention due to it’s over the top varying sizes and colour choice. The cracks inside the font are like literal examples of the edginess and over the top action that is apparently happening thanks to Black veiled Brides finally arriving at warped tour UK. The headline may have also been influenced by the intro text which talked about Black Veiled Brides bringing out the big guns for their headline set. This sort of intro straight into the page would really excite any Black Veiled Bride fan; speaking from experience and other readers who are going to Warped tour UK who may have had no prior knowledge of Black Veiled Brides.

The interview only has Andy’s answers to the questions he was asked beforehand, the interview starts with a large red drop capital and this happens again in the second paragraph with the same letter but in black. Both the first two paragraphs with the drop capitals start off with the technique atmosphere and then proceed with Andy’s comments. The interview is split into two even columns which are inside a white box to make them stand out. There is one pull quote from Andy and the amount of writing is an average amount so it implies that the focus is roughly 16+. There is also a second intro under the header which has a mixture of a rhetorical question and a statement which is left open by an ellipses.  The genres discussed are rock and the typical stereotype of rock and roll attitude can be implied from the way Andy talks about how things get ‘wild’ when he meets up with fellow rock bands ‘Asking Alexandria’ and ‘Attila’.
