This double page spread is from the magazine NME and includes a young boy band; The Teenagers. The audience are able to recognise this from the title at the top as it's bold and stands out and as it's the name of the band and tells the audience who the article is about. One side of the page consists of an image which is also of the band. This is conventional as magazines usually have one side as an image, the other with text in order for the magazine to be balanced.
The main image is of the band lying on a bed. As they are called the "The Teenagers" the picture symbolises the stereotypical views of what people think; "lazy". There has been three main colours used; black blue and white. This is conventional as magazines tend to used three/four colours in order for it to look simple and professional. The title (masthead) is black with a blue background which stands out and is eye catching. It is also centred which is clear and easy to read. This is unconventional as the title is in the first half of the page, as well as the second half, making it unbalanced.
On the right hand side, the page is equally split into two as it has an article on the band and an article on what the public are talking about. The patches of blue highlight the key points of the article, and the use of the white writing on the black background creates a stylish yet simplistic appearance. The page also contrasts with the black and white to show that the page is split into two, implying that two different things are being talked about. In addition, the columns of writing are clear and easy to read as they are in columns and split up into sections, making it easier for the audience to read.
