Railing of Magazine advert, Green Day – American Idiot

Ø  In the magazine advert for Green Day American Idiot has used a colour co-ordination of red, black and white representing the same colour as the album cover, which has a hand holding a grenade which looks like a heart and is dripping in blood. 
Ø  The single and the album being separated through the middle by a red line to distinguish the two apart. The colour coding is also the same as the album cover which is a red and white colour coding, the same as the charity they are supporting which is make poverty history who use red white and black colours on their logo.
Ø  What Green Day is trying to say to their audience with their album American idiot is that the American government are idiots for spilling so much blood while going to war with other countries hence forth the blood and hand grenade being held on the album cover.
Ø  The title of the page is also the name of the band and stands out because it’s pretty big, this is done due that it attract the reader’s attention because of its size and colour. Also the name of their bestselling song “wake me up when September ends looks like it has been hand written, like the artist has written it for someone. As if he is saying it someone to wake him up when September ends.
