The magazine’s double page spread shows Josh Franceschi from “You Me at Six” and Oli Sykes from “Bring me the Horizon”. One page shows a medium shot of the two men who are both smiling and happy and nice, which subverts the idea of musicians who play loud music are violent. “Oli” is creating a heart using his fingers, which again shows that these men are kind and caring.
The heading of the second page “You Me at Sykes” are play on words from the band and the surname of both artists. This shows that these men can be humorous and can have fun like anyone else, and this can relax the reader as nothing hurtful can be said in the article.
The heading is bold and the largest font used on this page. Some of the letters are in red which could be controversial as the aim is to not appeal violent or angry, which is what the colour red can portray. The article is a question and answer session and the questions are highlighted in red font, which could show that it’s more suited to male audience as it is a masculine colour, but also so that it is clear for the reader to distinguish between the interviewer and the interviewees.
The word “Exclusive” show that the information in the article are only in the magazine, which entices the reader into purchasing the magazine, as this cannot be found anywhere else, making the magazine unique. The page also says “Come back next week for more from Oli and Josh” which helps promote the artists and also promotes the magazine as fans of these two artist will buy the next magazine as these two are featured, so by informing the reader the magazine can hopefully guarantee more sales.
