NME Magazine Double Page Spread


NME Magazine Double Page Spread

The Title:
Upfront is the title for the double page spread with a smaller title underneath it saying what the page is about. Which I think is a really smart and clever idea to do because it means the reader does not have to take ages to find out what the double page includes.
The masthead has been done in bold black capital letters that go across the top of the page. The little title underneath the masthead is smaller and not bold but however it is still black and in capital letters.
Having the masthead with the little title underneath it is something that has inspired me for my own magazine.

Mis-en-scene:
The mis-en-scene has been split into 10 different pictures; 9 of them are on one page however number 10 is at the bottom of the second page.
Picture 9 of Girls Aloud they are all wearing exactly the same clothing, the body con pink dress that get more lighter at the bottom, however lighting does  enhances the fact that it get lighter at the bottom. The lighting round their faces real shows there bone structure especially on their jaws, by adding shadow underneath, although make up enhances this even more then lighting. On every one of the Girls Aloud members there make up is exactly the same, dark eye with pink on their eye lids. You could say that they are united as one because of how they are all wearing the same clothes.
In total contrast to Girls Aloud is picture 4 which is the group of school children that are also wearing the exactly the same clothes but unlike Girls Aloud they are not wear pink body con dresses they have conformed to wearing school uniform which is exactly the same.
Each one of these photos would have been taken in a different location for example, number 3 would have been taken in a fish market but image number 1 of Robbie Williams would have been taken in a studio these two places and people couldn’t be any more apart.

People:
There are so many different kinds of people in these pictures from a man selling fish for £1 at a market to the Prime Minister of Britain. Having such a broad range of people on their double page spread real makes sure that they hit their target market.
Each one of the artist have be presented appropriately for who they are for example, the Prime Minister is in a smart suit.
I feel that NME have defiantly hit their target market for this double page spread because the picture they have included are of people there audients know and relate. I also feel that this page relates to both genders because they have bands like the Killers but also singers like Carly Rae Jepson. 

Written Content:
The written is only at the bottom on the first page but however the second page is just full of writing.
The way they have presented there writing doesn’t look really busy and crammed like it could if they didn’t organised it. What I real like about the way it has been presented is how the numbers are bold and clear against the writing. Also how the title for the picture are in colour to make them stand out against the white background and the black written.

Layout:
The layout of the double page has 9 photos on the first page of all the newest music this week and the second page is the writing up of each picture.
I really like the way they have presented the double page spread, how everything is very organised in the layout. Doing it like this is something I will defiantly taken inspiration from.
