Double Page Spread Analysis Two

This double page spread is from NME. They have featured a large main photograph of The Teenagers on the left page to immediately inform the reader about who this article is about. This again helps the reader decide quickly whether or not to stop and read the article. Light blue stands out from the rest of the magazine as NME is mostly Red so this page really stands out and catches your eye. It’s saying I don’t happen often so read me for I am a feature! Most of the page is white so the block blue colours really stand out and draw your eyes to them. The colours of the heading are really bold and the font is capitalized which makes it stand out and shout to the reader that this is important. There is a smaller article on the right about what everyone else is talking about in the music industry recently. Its background colour is black which distinguishes it from the main article. It effectively separates itself from the article to show its different. In the picture, The Teenagers are looking straight at the viewer with a blank expression on their face. This probably fits in with the genre of their music and therefore attracts the reader who is interested in them to read it. I think this is a more effective double page than Kerrang!’s as initially the colour stands out so it attracts the eye. Not only this, the page just seems to fit. Nice picture, large article, and a separate little strip down the side to break up the page to make it easier to read.
