Analysis of Feature Article - Rock Sound

The feature article of Rock Sound is an in-depth interview with Bring Me The Horizon. The main title of the page is a sans serif font which is white on a black background. This increases the boldness and importunateness of the article. Most feature articles have a kicker giving the reader an insight into what they are about to read, therefore Rock Sound’s feature article has a kicker that tells the reader that Oli Sykes is about to reveal how he feels Bring Me The Horizon are progressing. Although Rock Sound feature article does not have a drop cap, it is advised as it tells the reader where to start. The main image on the double page spread is of Oli himself and has a caption telling the reader who and what he does. The image suggests youth and rebellion, which helps to target the audience. There is a quote on the image suggesting to the reader that Oli has a bit of history behind him and therefore has changed and become a better person. This feature article has several pull quotes from the main body text which suggests to the reader that they are fairly important things about the interview. Thee feature article should also have gutters so that it gives it that newspaper feel with brings along that sense of seriousness. There are two main colours within the feature article. Red and black are used for the back ground and main image, but the writing is in white which also stands out against the black background. The colour scheme on the front is also carried through to the feature article which helps create a sense of futurism.
