DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD SHEET FROM NME MAGAZINE

An A4 picture is used to show who the article is about , the way in which the stars are dressed in this photograph embraces the style of the magazine which is Indie rock. The denim jackets and long hair are the main stereotypical indicators that someone is into indie rock music and the magazine does this on purpose in order to maintain their genre.

The article starts with a large letter so that the reader knows where to start reading, the writing is simple and black and the background is white, this simple layout of the double spread maintains the indie look. The layout of the article reminds readers of the way in which newspapers usually layout their articles, this being in columns separated by faint lines.

The headline is black and bold , this font has connotations to tattoos because some of the letters are tattoo like , quite curvy and fancy compared to the rest of the writing in the headline which is most probably in the font of Arial.

Star burst used inside the magazine in the double spreadsheet to inform the reader about the events that the band Arctic Monkeys will participate in.

The starburst has colours such as yellow and red which contrast with the other colours on the double page inside the magazine. This is used in order to attract the reader’s attention to that part of the page.

The name of the band ‘’Arctic Monkeys’’ is written in white text and is in a simple font. The black box makes the name stand out however the size of the box and writing do not attract the attention of the reader as much. This could be because the magazine is aiming at people with an interest in indie rock music and feel that there is no need for introducing the name of the bands because they are already well known and should be recognized by the main audience of the magazine.

The subtitle is kept in the same style of writing, the font is kept simple and black but is larger than the writing in the article so it stands out more, this way it could be recognized as a subtitle.

The magazine seems to like keeping theme colours balanced in the content their content. If the colours were too bold and in abundance it would have created a messy punk appearance and would not appeal to theGenre of the magazine and it’s audience.
