nme double page spread

When first looking at this double page spread, the bright, bold blue colour instantly draws me in and is defiantly going to make the audience stop and take notice. The layout of the double page spread looks tidy and presentable with an image of the band 'The teenagers' to the left and the cover story to the right. The title which is in bold black and all in upper case stands out and has a good contrast to the plain white background also highlighting the black text with a bright blue colour also creates an eye-catching effect. The colour scheme for this double page spread is mainly blue, black and white , however at the bottom of the cover story their is the famous Red NME logo and textbook which is there to remind the audience the institution of the magazine. The colour of blue throughout the double page spread also could have an ideology of been targeted towards the male generation. This double page spread has also used an intriguing story starter which reads "Young, dumb and full of......filthy tunes"this makes the audience want to know what the boys in this band are like, therefore i think this is a good way of getting the audience to take notice and read the story. The image used on this double page spread is very good it shows the three boy members from the band 'the teenagers' lounging about on what likes a bed, with images of half naked girls above them. This image has a representation of the average male teenager who is believed to sit about doing nothing all day, chatting with friends and maybe fantasizing about girls, therefore this image sums up what message the band is trying to give off. On top of the image in the left hand corner is a short fact file of the band, i think this is a very good idea as many people might have not heard of the band and might want a bit more information about who they are or the music work they have produced before reading the story on the following page. In the far right of the double page spread is a review by alex turner on some of the most talked about bands at that time. Other good things this double page spread has are quotations from one of the members from the band and also at the top of the page is a banner which reads 'NME loves" the audience who read NME have great respect in the musical artists that are published within the magazine therefore if they read the banner they feel that if NME loves this band then maybe i should see what they are all about.
