NME Double Page Analysis

From the front cover and contents, it get be identified one of the main stories of this issue is based on the band, Glasvegas. This double page spread outlines their comeback and how the artists of the band act with each other.
The main image is placed across the double page and is of he band casually sitting on a sofa in a living room. This reflects how the band are laid-back and also do everyday activities like the readers that would be reading this. he other image used is place in the top left corner and is of two of the band members performing onstage. This contrasts with the main image as it shows their professional side as well, both these images are effective in giving the reader an insight into the artist's lives.
The house style is present on this page, as the colour scheme of red, black and white is shown. A drop-cap is used to begin a paragraph and is in red and bold, as to be noticeable. The pull quote is also written in italics, bold and in red, with the artist who had said it's name written in black underneath it. This is visually dynamic as it then ties in with the red panel to the right of the double page. The panel down the right-hand side of the page outlines the films that the band has been inspired by, including, Blade Runner, The Shining and Scarface. This is significant as it then links back to the front cover where a quote from Blade Runner is written across the chest of the lead singer. This is significant as the reader is able to relate to the band as they may be movies that they are able to relate to as well.
The font of the article is left aligned, black and in times new roman. This is simple yet effective as it is an easy font to read, so the reader doesn't have any problems with reading the information. There is also a small box of information within the article outlining the band's history, "At a glance" This information is centred and the majority of the writing is red, with black headings. Again, this ties in with the house style. The information in the panel on the right is all left-aligned and written in a bold white font against the red background. This makes it stand out yet is still in keeping with the colour scheme.
