NME double page

1. Layout – On the first half of the
double page spread there is the
main image which takes up all
the page. On the second page
there is an article that states
‘From tags to riches’. There is no
grid to show layout.
Use Of Images – The images
used in the double page spread
would be the main image
which is placed on the left
side, Dizzee Rascal is using the
title ‘From Tags’ which refers
to using graffiti to imply that
he was not rich and more of a
street style person. An images
which shows the part of him
being rich is on the second half
of the page in the bottom right
of the page is a beer and a
speaker system which shows
he turned wealthy later into his
career. The Main image is not
showing direct address
however they may have done
this for a reason to show how
he has left his past life looking
away from the graffiti.
Colours – The colours used in
the double page spread is
following the theme of red
throughout as Dizzee Rascals
clothes are accenting the colour
red which is the colour scheme.
Use of Space – The Editor
has used all the space on the
magazine as it is laid out in a
good way as the reader would
find the images and the way it
is laid out more fun to read.
The column widths of the
columns are positioned in a
clever way as they are easy to
read and wide enough to cover
the bottom half of the page.
The pages are not numbered
this goes against codes and
conventions however there
maybe a reason for this.
Language – The language
used is quite formal throughout
however it is informative for
example in the middle of the
right side there is a fact about
Dizzee Rascal himself. The font
style looks like street art which
is trying to reflect on Dizzee
Rascals life of him before.
There are no visible grab
quotes used on the double
page spread.
Overall Impression – The
overall impression of the article
is giving the audience an
overview of what Dizzee
Rascals life before he was a
famous artist.
Design – The design for the
magazine is very street based
which gives us the impression of
Dizzee Rascals life an example
maybe the graffiti on the walls
this shows an action of the street.
Drop Cap – A drop cap has
been used on the start of the
first paragraph and first column
this is used to attract the
attention to the start of the
article.
Branding – There is no branding
used to show if it is from NME
however it keeps the same house
style throughout the magazine.
