NME Double Page Spread

This double page spread I have chosen is from NME magazine. The article talks about a new band called ‘The Teenagers’, and their overall image and music. The colour theme of white, black and blue keeps the article looking very neat and tidy, conforming to the ‘Indie’ stereotype of NME magazine. The headline for the article is in very bold print, and on a blue background contrasting to the black writing, which makes it stand out for the audience. The article using numerous pictures all over the page which stand out against the small, plain coloured text, and attracts the audience. The banner which says ‘NME LOVES’, stands out on the page and attracts NME’ target audience, as the indie NME followers and going to listen to or pay attention to what NME recommends. On the right hand of the page, NME have placed a comment space for the audience to recommend or review some of NME’ most famous bands at the moment. The bright white text against the black background instantly makes it eye catching to the public, but upon realising that it is a band review, reviewed by people of the average age of their target audience, it would entice buyers and their target audience.

NME magazine is roughly the same genre of magazine that I will be creating, and from NME, I have decided to edit my magazine in such a way that it is very neat, and clear to the audience, hopefully conforming to the indie, clean cut stereotype and enticing my target audience.
