NME double page spread

Best selling indie/alternative music magazine 'NME' represents their audience in a variety of ways. Lily Allen is a well known face in the industry, and has  large fan base. Because she is closely linked to this genre the audience can identify what genre the magazine is portraying. The font used creates a rebellious tone which links with the topic of the article. The writing is really bold, which represents the artists personality. Simplistic colours are used to appeal to both male and females, and makes the photo of Lily Allen stand out more. The article is not based on music which is not typical for NME, however music may be more of a feature in the rest of the article. The article seems to contain quite a large amount of text which is typical of this type of magazine which is aiming at an ABC1 audience.

Because my magazine is of the same genre I will hope to have some similar conventions to the article above. I will have to have quite a lot of text, however I would like my article to be music based to appeal to my audience.
