NME Magazine
This double page spread is mainly focused on a article about a band called 'The Teenagers', which is a band that fits in with part of the target audience, teens. The image of them is all about them looking cool and giving off the idea they live a lifestyle that the readers will be able to connect with. By this, one of the things I am referring to is their pose. They look very laid back and relaxed and have a look associated to many teenagers, the look of being 'past caring'. Another noticable point is the pictures on the wall behind them. They are pictures of woman posing sexually and this is something that most teenage males will have an interest in and it will mean they are more likely to connect with the band and take more of an interest in them because they will see they are alike.
The page seems to use a colour scheme of white, black and blue and this really helps certain features stand out such as the title, the pull quote and the information box about the band. The black box on the right side of the spread also helps the reader to see the clear divide between interview and a section on other bands. From the layout, it is hard to see if there is any sort of plan to it but it could be seen as using a 3 colum plan with the image, article and side box.
The other images featured on the page are quite similiar to the main image. They are quite serious pictures and give off an idea of what their music may be like or what their music is about. For example, 'The Rascals' look like a band of young lads and their name and picture conveys that their music may be about girls and drugs as this is the stereotypical view of teenagers who like to have fun.
