Music Magazine Double Page Analysis

This double page spread denotes Paramore in a medium close up looking at the camera. The band is edited to look black and white expect from vocalist Haley Williams who is in colour who stands out alot. What also stands out alot is the actual bands name on the left hand side of the page in yellow almost looking like tiger stripes.
The first paragraph is in blue and looks unique on the page because nothing else is in blue. The sign paramore matches Haleys hair so isn't as unique as the first paragraphs colour which stands out.
There is text on both sides of the page, on the bottom left and the top right. The background behind the band seems to be a city block and they look like there sitting on the staircase of that tower block.
The band are looking directly at the camera and sitting very causally. The band are sitting behind all the text on the page but none of the text is infront of Haley Willams just the rest of the band.
The photograph and the background cover the whole magazine double page spread.


What this magazine double page spread connotes to me is that Haley Williams is the most important person in the band she is the Vocalist and the only girl in the band. The double page spread connotes this to me because Haley Willams is the only person in colour and because she is the vocalist also she is sitting in the front row of the band.
Haley is the only one in colour this represents her importance in the band and that she is the bands face. Her ginger hair makes her stand out like Gerald it seems likely that the vocalists in the band try to stand out the most because there the most recognisable because they sing the songs. The colour for the rest of the band is black and white and almost like they dont matter and that the spot light is always on Haley Williams.
The fact that she is the vocalist of the band might not be the only reason why she stands out the most in this double page spread, she is also the only girl in the band which gives her and edge because there are not much rock successful bands with girl members in them. Rock is a very male dominated genre of music so to Haley Williams will get alot of attention because shes successful and she is part of a rock band.


The facial expressions on the bands faces look pretty normal. The band seem very casual in this photo. There cloths look like there everyday to day cloths for what kind of band there in.


This doulbe page spread would attract male and female readers because Haley Williams is pretty and there arnt many successful bands who get featured in magazines so it would appeal to males. It would appeal to females because she is successful and they want to be like her and know its possible for girls to get signed to a record label. Theres a gap this genre of music for more female bands and Haley Williams can be inspirational for those girls who want to start a well known successful band.
