LIIAR Analysis of NME Double Page Spread



 

L: The language features is this double page spread are very simple; the two main colour schemes are black and white. The title to the page is in a very large bold font which says ‘The Joshua Code’. This takes up the half of the one section of the page so the reader cannot miss it. The text is under this and it uses some of the traditional features of a double page spread by using a pull quote underneath the title and a drop cap.The picture used in NME’s double page spread takes up half of the page and it features the band the Arctic Monkeys. The full band are looking into the camera lens which makes it seem as if the band are making eye contact with the reader.
I:  IPC Media produce NME Magazine, this is a media production company based in the UK. It produces over 85 different magazines.
I: The ideology of this NME double page spread is simply to give the reader and interview with the Arctic Monkeys. This is done in the text underneath the title ‘The Joshua Code’. The double page spread also features a picture of the band which takes up half of the page. Not only does it give you an interview with the band it also gives the reader some additional information like they are playing at Reading and Leeds Festivals. This information is displayed in the top left hand corner of the magazine. 
A:The audience for NME is mainly males aged 17-24. 70 percent of the audience are males so that is clearly the majority. Most people who read NME have good income jobs which allows them to afford the magazine when it comes out each month.
R:  The spread is represented in the traditional way a double page spread should be. For example it uses traditional conventions like a pull quote and it uses two drop caps. A large image is also used, which is usually featured in a double page spread.
