This is a double page spread from the magazine NME. the typical convention found on a double page are, that it is feature off the front cover that has been advertised. usually double page spreads have a large amount of writing either in a form of interview or written as a story, another convention of a double page spread is, that they will have a photograph or image that has some association with the article. On this double page we can see that there is a large heading, which is is the same type of text as the main front cover, with a thick black outline, the text also appears to represent a newspaper style headline, however this has been manipulated so that the letters are all different sizes, this could be another way of showing what Lilly Allen, (the main feature of the article) is about and her attitude towards peoples opinions of her. From this we understand that she has a strong attitude, also the type of text indicates that she may be sort of reckless. Therefore this represents the ideology behind this article. The image also connotates this as with the text she is also dressed in a punk, reckless, not bothered sort of clothing, the camera angle is a straight face on image, she appears to be leaning in, staring straight at the audience leading them into the article. The audience that this article is trying to attract is young people that are rebellious, this is represented in Lilly Allens costume and hair style, also the dark eye make up, which is done in a rock/punk sort of way. This may then attract an audience that have the same attitude and appearance as her.Monday, 26 January 2009
