Double Page Spread Analysis for UK Rock & Roll

Double Page Spread Semiotic Analysis for UK Rock & Roll

This is the double page spread for UK Rock & Roll, which features the female singer found on the front cover, which shows that this page is the main feature of the magazine. This is a convention found in magazines. The evident colour scheme for these pages are red white and blue, as they are found on the masthead and surrounding decoration. This tri-colour palette is synonymous with Great Britain as the Union Flag is made up of these three colours. This is used as this magazine is aimed at those in the UK, and it creates a sense of patriotism among the readers and unites those among the rock & roll community.

The picture on the left is of a man singing with back up artists. The caption in the top right corner of the image in white text tells me that these people are called "Cherry Casino and the Gamblers". This is a rock & roll group, as that is the genre of this magazine. This reinforces the genre and shows that this magazine is primarily aimed towards those who like Rock & Roll. The body of text beneath this image is black non-serif text on a white background, a recurring theme found on the contents page of the same magazine. This copy of text begins with a drop cap of a "T" in large, bold, serif, blue font. This reinforces the colour palette and in turn the magazine's brand identity.

The image opposite is of Rhythm Shakers, a band found on the front page, which shows that this is the main features of this issue of UK Rock & Roll.
