nme double page spread analysis

This double page spread is different to the previous two as it is a bout a new band that NME has discovered, unlike the other two that were interviews. The main and only picture is in the background of the whole spread, it is a n image of the three men playing with toy guns, this shows their playfulness and that they are only young so could go along way. They are wearing casual clothes that are not particularly up to date with fashion but they show the bands relaxed idea and give a good image to represent that they are just having a bit fun, although their expressions are slightly series which shows that they can have a serious side if needed, in the background we can see the coats and lights above, which shows the reader that they are not a successful band at the moment like Nickel back because their picture has not been taken in a studio or somewhere specific however so far they have been successful enough to get their picture in NME so they are obviously a band that we should look out for in the future. In the top left corner is the title radar, this is in while on a blue background and includes a brief description of what this page in the magazine is all about. Below this is the main block of text it is written in a white box using black text at the top of this box is a brief introduction and the name of the band in bold and then below this there is allow of the main text written out I two columns, this makes it clear and easy to read, it s written in a friendly way to appeal to its target audience and doesn’t use big technical words but more slang to really represent the band's personality. At the bottom of this text it has who it was written by in italics to make it stand out slightly but it is not any bigger than the rest of the text so that it doesn’t overpower the rest of the text. In the centre of the white box there is a caption written in blue this attracts the readers eye and they will tend to read this first it states " we want to make pop songs that are pure and unpretentious" this encourages the reader to read the whole article because they want to find out how the band are so pure. Above the white box there is another blue box saying "NME LOVES" this reminds the reader which magazine they are reading but also makes them want to listen to the new band because it has been recommended by a magazine tat they buy regularly and respect. In the bottom right corner there is a small white box with all the most important information from the double page spread, it acts a s a brief summary so that readers don't forget who the band are and where they can download the songs.
