Magazine AnalysisDouble Page Spread

Double Page Spread from NME magazine- Lily Allen.

I really like this page because the picture and the quote are big and take up most of the double spread. Also, the style of font that is used for the quote is intriguing and looks like them scary letters or chain mails people send. This then links with the dark make up and rock chick look Lily Allen is given. A typical rock genre music spread.

The red of her shirt also is used to highlight her name and another name which I presume is the writers name. Highlighting the link and their importance.

The article is written about her- not so much a question and answer interview.

The quote ‘People think I’m an attention seeker, but I’m just honest’ gives a rebellious look to Lily Allen as being this ‘mouthy’ woman- links to the rock chick look and to the rock genre.

Two page spread in NME magazine- The Teenagers.

They are all led on a bed, looking relaxed and looking straight at the camera. The pictures above them are of girls from magazines which gives them a typical ‘teenage boy’ look.

The main image of the band takes up one page of the double page spread. Each boy in the band connotes different things as of the costume they are dressed in.1- cool2- geeky3- rock

The main colour scheme is blue, white and black. The blue is the most appealing colour on the page highlighting in blocks- names, quotes and a fact file. Blue is also a connotation of boys so it shows that this page is all about boys.

The language used here gives a representation of young boys (teenagers) being dumb and rebels. This is a link to the audience of NME magazine and most of the bands/artists they have in the magazine have this representation.

A column down the side of the page showing other bands etc- so the whole two page spread is not all about ‘The Teenagers’.

Two page spread- Florence and the Machine (Florence Welch)

Picture shows Florence in a dominating position looking different to how she usually is represented. She is also sat on a flag(USA) showing that she has won the American music industry.

The main bright colour is red as of from the flag and also links to Florence’s hair.

Florence is also in front of the writing- USA in capitals. The writing is a grey stone look which is darker than the grey/white backdrop.

‘got the love’ is written in a black swirly font which gives a ‘girly; connotation. It is also part of a title of a song she sings so it is a play on the words. The first letter to start the interview is also the same swirly font.
