I have decided to analyse this NME double page spread of Kasabian because NME magazines are the main source of indie music and my magazine is based on the indie genre.
The image on the double page spread covers half of the page and the other half of the page is covered with text as an article. The article is on the left hand side on purpose because it is seen first by the audience as the audience read left to right, this shows it's the most important part of the double page spread. The image is very indie with the band walking along and even though the picture is obviously not moving you can still tell the swagger in the way the are walking (slouched arms). Even if you did not know the band you can still tell that the person on the left hand side of the image is the front man and this is because the image preserves him larger than the other members of the band showing that he is the 'talking point'. The person on the left has a huge flower on his shirt and the other members don't and this portrays he is more important than the other members. The band name 'Kasabian' is spread over the two pages and it in very large black font, this shows that the band are wanting to be known by the audience and are saying 'remember the name' because it is in very large font so the audience can not miss it. There is a large quotation from a band member and this is used for the people who do not have time to read the full article. To seperate the columns of text little dotted lines are used and this makes the document look more professional and sophisticated. Very large drop capitals and this is used to fill in space for the page, it is also however used to clearly show the audience where the article starts so that the audience don't just skip past the article. There isn't any information going over the spine of the page which is good as no information is lost. Finally there is another, smaller image on the page which shows off the serious side of the band instead of just the swagger because the image shows the band working on maing new music.
For my double page spread i will use the points of having a smaller image and a smaller piece of font (quote) so that the audience dont get bored of only one image and massive bloks of text. I will also make sure that I dont put information on the spine of the page, this is so i don't lose any information down the spine. I will use a type of formatting so that the columns of text are seperated, however i may not use dotted lines.
