NME Double Page Spread Analysis

This NME double page spread has all the simple conventions that a magazine would feature. It consists of a main headline; which can be eye catching but informal, fairly large photo and either an interview or text about the artist. Lily Allen is a famous female known for her music, or perhaps even because of her attitude. The way the headline is formatted, for instance cut out newspaper letters seems a little all over the place portrays the artist. The cut out letters could also represent attitude towards the readers. The image however appears to be quite positive as Lily strikes a pose, she seems confident and is projected as if she is coming out to the readers. This could show that Lily is keen to open up to the readers and connect with them. Lily's clothing is quite stereotypical for an Indie/Rock girl but red, black and white is for a male and female audience. The layout is basic; which makes it easy for the reader to navigate through the page and it is an effective, yet easy way to present an article to the audience. The background is white, so the image and text are the main focus with not too much going on.
