Double Page Analysis 2

This is a double page spread for NME magazine. The layout is very visual and eye catching and looks very professionally produced.  I think NME are trying to attract a younger audience due to the title name ‘the teenagers’ and the visual effects and the colours which make it a preferred reading. The main colour used is the blue which is a unisex colour which can appeal to males and females, the use of the blue black and white go very well together as it jumps out of the page and attracts the eye. By using a few use of colours it keeps the page simple and effective. The use of blue connotes a youthfulness  of the article, also it uses the colour black which we normally associate with the rock genre

The layout and composition is very busy as loads of things are going on at the same time, but its not too busy that its hard to read, the main image focuses on 3 teenagers lying on a bed, the mis en scene of the room is typical of a teenagers room which makes it easier for the audience to relate to the main image.  We can tell they are part of a rock band due to the clothes they are wearing is typical of rock stars to be wearing skinny jeans, t-shirts and one of them is wearing a leather jacket these are typical clothes that rock band members tend to wear. The band The main article looks very short compared to the rest of the double spread, the double spread is very heavily visual, which teenagers like more. The main article is presented in columns which is a conventional in music magazines which looks very nice visually. Overall this article has strong typical conventions providing a very visual and good looking double page which is very attractive to look at and focuses on the genre and target audience very well.
