Analysis of the double spread of NME magazine


The colour scheme on the double spread is pink, black, and white this ties in with the colour scheme on the front cover which is pink, white and black.  In addition colour is used to emphasis key points that the magazine wants to get across to the reader whether it be the name of a person or the name of a person who has influenced the persons writing, below is an example of this:












The double page spread has been laid out in such a way that everything is very clear, the reader can not been in confusion as to what they are looking at /reading. The text has been set up so that everything has a consistent size/font; this makes it easier for the reader to distinguish anything important that the magazine is trying to get across to the reader. There is a fairly even divide between the number of images and text and this could indicate to the reader about what his career was like, an even divide of what people think of him through his image and what he is actually like. Through the images David Bowie’s different style periods are shown to the audience. The images present him as very bold, daring and unafraid as to what people think of him as he went through many different phases in his active career. The article does not demand any prior knowledge of David Bowie as the whole point of the article is how David Bowie influences the younger generation of music now.  Below are two pages explaining to the audience how what period of David Bowie’s career has affected artists today.
