Analysis of NME's Double Page Spread

NME have chosen to have the image of Lily Allen spread across the two pages and the rest of the space contains the text and the title. Also the article has a consistent house-style of red, black and white which contrasts with the clothing that the artist is wearing. By doing this they have made the whole article tie together. Also the main headline is a personal quote from the artist herself and the magazine has chosen to chose a theme as if she has cut words from a newspaper, giving the article that dark and gothic feel to it. Also by having the title in different sizes this grabs the readers attention as it is different and stands out, also by using a quote will make audiences want to know why she has said the quote.

The article is white on black through out however they have chosen to use the colour red when stating who the article is about and who written it, this has been done to highlight who has written the article and who the whole article is about if that wasn't clear from the photograph on the right of the text.

The article is then spilt up into small parts and put into 4 columns and the bottom of the main headline and photograph. This makes the reader think that there isn't much text and the article will be quick to read, making audiences more willing to read the article. However the text is slightly squashed comparing to the overlarge image and title, therefore making it seem like the text is less important.

NME have also used a small puff in the left hand cover of the page promoting there website, this is also in red so that it catchs the eye of the reader.
