NME Double Page Spread


This is a double page spread of NME magazine. 1 page is image and the other is largely text. This double age spread is very visual. the lead singer is central in the image and the lighting shows he is the main focus. the setting of the image is a club/gig and the mise-en-scene mainly consists of girls. The page is a page for new bands and the cations anchor the image. The caption is also humorous showing the magazine is a playful/humorous and informal magazine.
the exclusivity grabs readers attention showing that the magazine has got something nobody else has got.
The use of pronouns engages the audience as well as the use of alliteration. the magazine also uses intertextuality. the tone of the magazine is satirical and hyperbole. There is use of similes and metaphors as well.
The language is very colloquial and the columns are very short set. There are 2 main images. these images are a match on action and show the same thing but from a different camera angle. in the last column, there is the use of play on words when talking about Swede and Swedish.
also the quotes from bands make the article more exclusive.
