NME' Double Page Spread Analysis

The colour scheme on this DPS suits the colour scheme of the front cover because we can see many uses of yellow with slight hints of burgundy. The use of the dark background(black) may imply that this band may be a rock/alternative band.

This DPS is visually very busy. We can see that the images look like they were ripped apart with fingers and stuck together which again adds more to the busy feeling. This makes the audience feel like there is lots going on, on this page which is a good thing as we are overloaded with quantity. 

As there are many images, they are a mix of long-shot and mid-shot. There isn't a main focal point on this DPS because there is a lot going on. There is equal distribution of the band members pictures because it is not mainly the lady singer or the guitar player, it is all and they are smiling and some images were taking whilst they were performing which gives a feeling that they are passionate about what they are doing.

There are no pull quotes which is unusual as usually we would see at least one pull quote. Instead the writing 'This band could change your life' is on one side of the page which is very eye-catching and it makes the audience want to find out why this band would change their lives. There is also a short description of the band and the genre of their band which means people that are interested in grunge-pop would want to read it.

The font on the Drop cap matches with the font on the left side which looks very nice and also it links to the whole theme of crafting as it looks like someone painted the letters.

Many people would expect the columns on the second page to have a Q&A structure however it is not a Q&A. It is an info section of the band and their recent concert. In addition, the four yellow boxes have some information about the 4 band members. It includes their age, their favourite band, and a fun fact about them which is a good way to advertise the band as some people may relate to the fun fact and want to know more about them.
