Research and Planning - Double Page Spread analysis,

NME Double Page Spread.

This double-page spread is from the music magazine NME, this seems like a informal interview with the band 'The Teenagers' I would expect it to be informal as they're quite young and NME magazine is a more layed back magazine.


The medium long shot of the boys from the band 'The Teenagers' , the image shows that the band seem relaxed nature within the interview, you can tell this through the body language of the boys which NME try to create. Place beneath the image is a 'Need To know' section, this will help the audience to have brief knowledge of the band, NME also is helping the band to become more known by giving a few facts about this unknown band. The columns structure are very simple and clear for the audience to read, in the middle of both columns a quote of the interview has being made noticeable to catch the readers attention, NME is most likely to choose the most interesting part of the interview so that the audience will want to carry on reading the whole column, also the font was made larger, bolder than the copy surrounding it, also the blue background colour creates it to stand out from the rest. The small mid shot image of the band on tour performing allows the reader get an inside image of how they are as a band, this is lay top of the second column.


The colours blue,white and black and bold font used is bright and seem cheerful, representing the band and the interview, suggesting that it's a more fun and not so serious interview . You can see this magazine targets a young audience especially this article, through the main image of the boys the setting of pictures of girls and the band name 'The Teenagers'
