The main not a lot as this is not an one of the most well known colours are yellow and red, the connotations of these colours interview, it a review on a images that people have seen are happy, loving and sexy. These colours match in with her certain song and there is only of her. When people see this new album and her music videos, this is good advertising for so much you can write about image, they can already Rihanna and makes the magazine look even better to readers on a song until it becomes relate to the article without as they are taking her forever changing themes in to boring.

  The dominating imageis on the left hand side of the band members from ‘The Vaccines’. The image has had a sepia effect used on it to make it look like an old photo, this look fits In well with the genre of music. The band members are all wearing plan clothes, all from the same colour palette. Two od them are holding guitars, this lets us know (if we didn’t already) they are a band, and it also shows us the roles they play within the band. They are all looking at the camera with no emotion on their faces, giving us a sense of mystery about the band. The image is very simple and it is something that we have seen before, but it lets the blues stand out more on the page and it contrasts well. The introduction is like most other magazines, introducing the band. But the introduction isn’t within the text it is underneath the article title. It doesn’t tell us a lot about what the article will be about, this causes the reader to read on. (this could also be a kicker) When we start to go on to the text the text density isn’t very much, this is because it could make the readers not actually want to read it! (some people may think they might not have time to read it so they flick the page) this is a good thing that they haven’t added a lot of words in this case. Another thing about this is that it doesn’t go straight in to an interview, it tells us about the band mates first, how they met, what they could first play on the guitar, by doing this, this connects the reader to the band before reading what they have to say. The font is very simple, bold and sans serif. This can mean that the writer of the article wants us to focus more on the text than the font itself. The font continues to be the same all the way through. The Article title is big black bold lettering, this makes it stand out more and the font type is different from the rest, it is in capitals and this gives it an importance, showing that it is telling us who it is. There is one pull quote in this double page spread. It shows a rebellious side to the band because it is sarcasm, they aren’t a pop band and they don’t want to be but they try and use witty humour. When you first see this quote it has the shock factor so this makes you want to read the text itself, then when you have read the text you then understand the sarcasm they are using. This is a good element to add to the magazine as it is funny. The colour palette is based on three colours, brown, grey and blue. The blue stands out a lot on the paper and gives it that eye catching factor. We know that they have added blue because that is the colour associated with boys, but also because it is the main colour on the new album cover. So this is, in a way, adding advertising in to the article for the band
