Double page spread analysis

The title is not neat, but instead has a wonky look to it, which connotes the grungy genre of the music. It is also in very large writing, helping to draw the reader in.

The first letter of the article is in very large and bold writing, helping the reader to identify where the article starts, this is a common convention of double page articles.

The red shirt Lily Allen is wearing connotes the indie style she flaunts, which is also the genre of the magazine, and is a traditional indie colour, therefore is aestheticallspleasing to the target audience.

Lily Allen stands in a provocative posture, which may catch the reader of men’s eyes. In this way, the image caters for the male gaze. This is important for ‘Nme’ as it has a predominately male audience.

The largeness of the image helps to draw the reader in, and immediately informs them of who is featured in the spread.

The lack of actual writing in the double page spread could symbolise Lily Allen’s simplistic nature, and be a reflection of how she does things.

The white box at the side of the image contrasts nicely against the black, meaning that the information in the column stands out.

As on the previous cover, there is a large first letter, showing clearly to readers where the article starts.

The complex and crowded layout of the spread may connote the complexity and deepness of the band, and show to readers there is more to them than first meets the eye.

The words ‘My Chemical Romance’ are in large font in order to stand out, and let the reader know what the article is about. It is in bold which adds to this.

‘World Exclusive’ suggests that there will be an element of exclusiveness in this article, which excites the audience and makes them feel privileged an stimulates them to read on.

The word ‘Hot’ suggests that this is something not to be missed.

The small pictures add more material to the article, and make it more aesthetically pleasing. The black and white colours fit nicely with the surrounding colour scheme, and connote a darkness which may appeal to Kerrang readers.

The extremely large and bold title ‘The vaccines’ immediately lets the audience know who the magazine is about.

The quote ‘We are a pop band’ shows readers a clear identification of what the band are about, drawing in anyone who is interested in pop music.

‘And we want to be a pop band’ shows the firm belief in the identity of his band from the musician, making readers respect the band for their firm views.

The photo clearly shows all four members of the band, meaning that fans will quickly be drawn in by the familiar faces.

The serious facial expressions of the band members connotes the deepness of the article, suggesting that it’s perhaps less light hearted and focuses on more serious topics.

The baby blue colour is often related to indie pop, as it is bright, but this actually works well against the less colourful image and spread.

‘Jamie Fullerton’ stands out in blue font, so anyone familiar with this interviewer will recognise the name and be drawn in.
