This double page spread out of Rocksound is an album review. It features a very large mid-shot of the band, which shows to the audience exactly who the band are, getting their fans' attention straightaway, causing them to read what's on the page.
The large white font is bold and contrasting to the colour of the background, a generic feature of a rock magazine article. It works well because it standing out makes it noticeable, grabbing a readers' attention if they are skimming through the pages of the magazine, perhaps enticing them to read this article.
The target audience of the article appears to be young, energetic males. This is reflected in the image, of males having fun, and in the colour scheme. The green and black colours look very boyish together, and create an almost dirty effect, which would cater more towards males than females.
The album cover is only small, however, it leans over the edge of the green border, into the white area, appearing to be popping out of the page. This effect shows its importance in the story, and tells the reader that this is what has been focused on.
The article is separated into an interview section, in the black area, and a review of the album in the green area. The colour divides work very effectively to separate each part of the article.
