Double Page Spread - NME
In this double page spread the images dominate majority of the page. The way the images are presented are very important, for example the posture of the band members presented (left) mimic the meaning of the article - teenagers. I found that NME went with the stereotype of teenagers, the carefree personality, drunken, partying behavior. This is shown through the images in the background, and the posture in which they are lying in; gives you the impression they are lazy just like every other stereotypical teenager. The colour scheme is very simple (Black|White|Blue) - put together they become quite attractive colours and they grab your attention and the colour blue itself conveys coolness and fits in with the laid back attitudes of teenagers. Also the simplicity of the colour scheme stops the spread from looking overcrowded, which encourages the reader to read on for it does not to long to read.
The editor has chosen a long article which contains the history of the band and bands which our similar to this band featured, there is also highlighted quotes which the editor assumes would draw in their target audience. Doing an article rather than an interview like ordinary magazines - e.g Q moreover it would just attract people who enjoying reading.However that does not apply to everyone nonetheless the factual box (placed on the image) is a unique way to incorporate the rest of the people who do not enjoy reading, as now have something short, simple, interesting to read than the long article. Additionally the effect the editor used making the factual box look like a ripped out piece of paper makes the reader feel like the band personal created that box. In addition NME put their signature stamp on the image - The red box at the bottom of the page (the same red as the logo NME) contains their website which is a good selling point as they interact with their readers not only through their magazine but online on their website. Also above there is a shape that says 'NME loves' this shows the support of the band by NME moreover encouraging readers to buy their album since NME likes them.
