On this double page spread of NME there is a picture of Noel Gallager the backing singer and songwriter for Oasis who were a very big band back in there day so the reason they have probably picked him to be the main part that you read in the magazine is because it stands out to a variety of people. Also by the way he is presented by what he is wearing such as pair of grey jeans with a grey shirt and a black leather jacket done up gives the instant look of what NME magazine are all about with the indie look. The appearance says a lot about a person and what the article might be about such as Noel Gallager hair is quiet a messy but swept to the side to show the punk look as they don’t really make a massive effort. Along with makeup it doesn’t look like he is wearing anything but if he was it would probably be a pale white foundation to make him look clean and fresh to appeal to the target audience. The shot in which the picture is taken is a long shot as you get the whole of his body in the image probably to show his body language from the way he is standing with his hands in his pockets and the other picture with him rubbing his chin he looks relaxed but maybe thinking about something which makes you want to know why he is posed like that. The way that the images represent the target audience is by using dull dark colours in which you referee to the indie rock look by which they have obviously made him wear for this photo.
All the colours that are used in this double spread magazine of NME are the same colour scheme to the one on the front cover as they obviously link in with the bright blue on the font that stands out with the white and light grey background which is a strong contract of colours which makes the “the world of god” stand out a lot more on the double page spread. The colours in which the guy is wearing are also very dark and bland which shows he is in a band or maybe an indie artist.
The language in this article is quiet in-formal as the when you read the article it is like he is reading it to you and he doesn’t address you by “I” making it not formal. The language used in the article as well as some as the captions is defiantly aimed at teenagers and 25 upwards because it has some language which teenagers would use and you wouldn’t find in adult magazines so they are two completely different types of magazines in way of how the language comes across.
For this double page spread the house style links in well with the front cover as it has the same colour scheme of the light blue, black and grey which all link in well. Along with that the picture of the guy showing a long shot to get the full picture of what the guy looks like dresses like so you can get an overall opinion on what kind of genera of music he might be into.
The way the column layout is at the bottom of the page it spreads onto two pages which is quiet difficult to find were you left off as it doesn’t clearly show you where. Also the columns adjust to when they get near the picture of Noel Gallger like where the first columns is the columns follows the shape of his leg which is a good affect for this kind of magazine
