NME Double Page Spread

This double page spread is from the music magazine ‘NME’, which focuses on Lily Allen. NME’S genre is indie/rock. When you look at the magazine page you are immediately drawn to the main title, which is a quote to the article. ‘People think I am an attention seeker, but im just honest.’ The reason we are drawn to this is because the writing is newspaper cuttings, this links in with the indie theme, because it is messy, the letters are different sizes and is also slanted. They have also used a bold, white font, which is in front of a black background, so it really stands out for the readers.

In the sub-heading they use a black font, but for Lily Allen’s name, they use a red, bold font, which tells the audience that she is the main focus of the article. For the article Lily Allen is wearing a red shirt, which really stands in the page, where everything else in the article is black and white. This is effective, because it makes her stand out from everything else. Her hair is also fairly untidy, which also links in with the indie theme.

What I like about this music magazine double page spread, is that instead of having lots of pictures included in the article, they have just used one that covers one page. This is very effective, because it is much more intense where she is giving us eye contact.
