Evaluation double page spread- NME



This is the another double page spread i am looking at from the magazine NME. There is alot going on, on this page, it is also busy with lots going on but not so busy that it turns the reader away. As you can tell by the two pages there are alot of blacks, reds and whites involved. The background has been made black to make the main titles stand out and you could not miss them, for example the quotes are in red and white, its loud and it capitals its almost as if its shouting at you saying they are the best! and that you must read on.

Images;
There alot of mages on this double page spread, they have been edited to be in a black and white tint to go with the whole effect of the back ground and so the red writing stands out more than the colour of the images. The lead singer is shown on the left hand side, this is the biggest image so the reader is aware he is the main singer. He is dressed casual and rock, with the scruffy looking jacket and dark black hair so you can tell that this band is a rock band. There are also 4 smaller images below him that are memebers of the band, you can tell there not as important as the lead singer as its smaller. These images are also in black and white tint, most of them are dark haired, so it still shows there all part of a rock band.

Layout/design
The way this the magazine is set out, one side has all the information and the other has just mainly pictures, and a small amount of writing. This is all to grabs the readers attention, for example the short sentances instead of long dragging out titles. Otherwise the reader would be put off before starting on the actual information the magazine is about. There is also a small colum of information on the very right hand side, this is not to do with the main article you can tell this because the background is white and doesnt follow the colour scheme. Although it has a red block round the top writing this is to get the reader to read what the extra information is about.
