F
or my first double page spread, i am going to analyze this two page spread which is from a magazine called NME which is a famous magazine that focuses on the rock genre. NME is a famous magazine which has been out for many years. On the double page spread it has a headline (title) "The Teenagers" which are a music group from America. It has four pictures and a main picture. It has a fact box at the bottom left corner of the double page spread. The colour scheme doesn't really work with the main background image as it uses mainly dark colours and the scheme of the rest of the double page spread uses light. I feel that the magazine colours should be similar throughout.  The colours thwy use are light blue white, and a little bit of red. These colours are not stereotypical of a rock magazine. 

Design 

All the important headlines and important information are highlighted in blue this attracts the reader and gives a little information which makes the readre want to read more. 


Images

The main image represents average teenagers in their room being lazy. The room is also a representation of an teenagers room(very messy, couch to lay on and relax.) Its a typical teenagers room. There are other images on the double page spread showing other bands and giving information on them.

Words Used!

In the middle of the magazine it says "NME" loves in a star shaped background this makes it stand out of the page. it also says "THE TEENAGERS" in very bold and big writing it does this so we remember these people also it has a light blue background to make it stand out from the rest of the magazine.
 

My overall impression of the magaine is that the colours used do not really contrast well. The main image will atract teenagers to buy this magazine because they can relate to the main picture. The double page spread gives a good insight to other bands and gives good information on their likes and dislikes and their lifestyle.
