Double page spread - 1

This is a double page spread of a magazine that represents the type of genre I will be using throughout my music magazine.
The puffs that are used within and around this article highlight key componants to the article, giving the reader interesting information to make them want to read about the article. The colour of the puffs are also the same as the heading, these puffs relate to the fact that they are just as important as the heading of the article and they are the next attraction after the reader has seen the heading.
The main image that is used takes up the whole of the first page, this allows the reader to really look in to the image, wanting to know what the image is portraying, therefore they will want to read the article. The image that is shown is of 3 men lying on a bed, full clothes with images behind them. Any reader who was to look at this image would want to know who they were and what is the image about and therefore would look in to the article.
A puff is used above the heading, stating, 'NME loves', this wil attract the readers attention as it allows them to see tht the magazine themselves have looked into this article and have listened to there music and therefore the readers such do them same as they have used the word 'loves' meaning the band themselves are good. Another puff on top of the image stating 'What you need to know', this is a list of facts that are given about the band, therefore the readers will read this, maybe before they read the article so they have basic understanding of what the band are like. The colour of this puff is also a bright blue background, white and black writing has been used to state the facts.
There is also a column that contains extras/features, 'Everyone's talking about', this immeditely attracts the readers attention as they want to see what everyone is talking about, therefore it will make the reader read in to the article.
There is also a given quotation that has been highlighted bright blue, this is so the quotation stands out to the reader as it might be an important part of the article making the reader want to read more in depth.
There are also smaller images that have been used as part of the article, these images may relate to what has been said in the article, therefore the reader can read the article and relate to the images used.
The tag line that has been used 'Young, dumb and full of.. filthy tunes' has been structured to target the bands target audience. It may also be used in relation to the heading, as it gets people to sterotype teenages, branding them as 'Young and Dumb. This tag line also leads the reader to asume something else at the end of the line and not just 'filthy tunes'.
As you can see, on this double page spread, the heading is to the right of the page. This is effective as it shows that the magazine has tried a different layout out, in order for the double page sread to look different and eye catching.
The heading is very bold and large in order to stand out at the reader. The colours used for the heading are bright blue and black. The black writing is used against the bright blue to stand out and attract the readers attention so they want to read more about the article.
