Real Media Artefact - Double Page Spread - (3)

In this double page spread there is one main image of the band "The Teenagers". In the picture the three members of the band are in a relaxed laying position on a bed with direct eye contact to the camera which builds up a personal relationship with the reader and the artists as you read through the article. The clothes the band are wearing are very casual and appear smart and clean. The band appear to be very clean cut and look relaxed and confident, as though they are trying to make a good first impression. Behind the band there appears to be a series of collages and pictures which link to the bands name "The Teenagers" as the pictures of girls behind them are what you would find in a typical male teenagers room. In the top right hand corner of the picture of the band there is a spiked edge pug which is filled with the colour black with white writing on top reading "NME LOVES" in capitalised letters. The use of having this there shows that the magazine loves this bands music and is supporting the band by interviewing them about their music and advertising their music, encouraging the audience to look into their music, which gains more popularity for the band.

On the bottom left hand corner of the picture of the band there is also a blue box that looks like a ripped bit of paper out of a notebook with information about the band which could be seen as a "Fact file" about the band. The piece of paper is filled blue and has black and white writing contrasting against the colour blue to grab the readers attention.

The two columns of text on the right hand side of the magazine are in a very neat formation as the text starts out a the same place at the beginning of a new line. This makes the feature neat and tidy which contrasts with the bands name "The Teenagers" as teenagers are usually stereotyped as messy and untidy.

The colour theme running throughout this article is blue white and black. The blue has been used as this colour is usually associated with males and as the article is about an all male band it is totally appropriate to have been used. The black and white are there as they are the house colours and are always used in this magazine. On the far right hand side of the page you can see that there are more suggestions as to what bands the audience should look at and in each band heading there is also a synopsis about each band describing what genre the bands are and what tracks to listen too.
