Evaluation of NME Double spread sheet

This a double page spread sheet form the NME magazine, this double spread sheet doesnt look like on but it is because on one side we have a picture and the on the other we have the article.

Colour:

The colours used on the double spread sheet aren't very bright and there isn't a wide verity of colours either, they are many dark greys and reds, there isn't any background making the 2 pages very bland. The only thing that catches my eye on this page is the big picture and the red text.

Design:

The design of this double spread sheet is very different to the normal kind of double spread sheet, this is because the picture doesn't run on to the other page unlike the Kerrang double spread sheet. The overall design of the double page spread is very neat, the text is readable and it is space out nicely.

Images:

On this double spread sheet there is only one image, and this on band Gorillaz. The picture is very well presented and is very has some really good effect to it. The effects on the image are nice and crisp.

Pose, Style hair, and make-up:

The pose that is used by the animated character 1 is very is serious, he has his legs apart, arms folded, with a grin on his face to say as if he is going to do something really serious, Character 2 against the car is very relaxed smoking a cigarette with his arms folded. They both have long scruff hair, showing that they don't care about there, which could be a sign of aggression. They aren't wearing any make-up on there face, but you cant see the eyes so you cant tell if they on there eyes or not.

How are word used on the double spread sheet:

There are many different words used on the double spread sheet, and they are very effective to the reader and can keep them interested in the article.

The kinds of word they use are "CRAP" sign of aggression, "STUPID" another sign of Aggression, "HIT", all these words are very aggressive words, which is very rock punk.

Language:

The Language that is used on this double page spread sheet in NME is very aggressive, and associated with rock. This is what the reader with be looking for is a good magazine and a good article to go with it.

Overall impression-how effective is the double page spread sheet:

My overall impression on how effective is the double page spread would have to be very effective, this is because there is a nice big image, which then leads on to the article it self. The red on the article is very eye catching and it would sure make me read the article.
