Double Page Spread - 2


In this double page spread you can see that the headline has took up 2 thirds of the way down the page. This shows the the magazine brand 'NME' have decided to try different things, allowing the reader to understand the type of article that the magazine is portraying. The headline used is in the style of a newspaper, big, block, captial letters used to stand out at the reader and the quotation marks used also tell the reader that the headline of the article is actually a true saying from Lilly Allen shown on the picture. The benefit of the headline being a quotation is that it catches the readers attention, making them want to read more of the article.
The main image of Lilly Allen that has been used relates to the headline of the article as it is what she has said. The short, black hair that Lilly has in the image, contrasts with the colour used as the headline background. The colour black that has been used sugguests the article is very formalitive, meaning that the article is very serious and factual. The colour of Lilly's hair also relates to the idea of the article being serious. The way Lilly Allen is stand on the image, with her hands on her hips and her head tilted to the side, however looking at the camera portrays the 'I dont care' look.
The selling line is also in the colour black, however this is because the colour theme. The words 'Lilly Allen' are the colour red, this is because the article is about Lilly Allen and therefore NME want the artists name to stand out.
The red checked shirt that Lilly is wearing also stands out from the rest of the article, catching th readers attention, making them attracted to the article.
The drop captial that has been used at the start of this article, this shows that the magazine editors have used a varity of different designs in order to get the most effective look.
