This is a double page spread taken from the magazine NME. It is an article on The Teenagers "Young, dumb and full of ...filthy tunes." This article is all about what type of music that they produce, different from many other artist's/bands.
Unlike the previous 2 magazine double page spread's, the main photograph used is in colour with all three members of the band laid on the bed. The font for the headline is in bold. The colour of the text is black, with a light blue background box. There are 2 other blue boxes filled with a little bit of extra information. A "need to know" about the teenagers, which is in the bottom left hand corner. And the box on the top left hand corner, telling us that this is new music. The font that the story has been written in is small in comparison to the headlines, this directs the reader to the story and makes it more obvious that the larger titles are just headlines. There is a quote that has been taken and highlighted in a blue (same colour as the text boxes), which is an important part of the text if it has been picked out and displayed to the audience like so. The oblong box on the right side tells us about bands that people have been talking about recently, with a little bit of information about the band. The box's background is black with a white font, and certain text highlighted in the blue that has been used for the rest of the double page spread. The theme of colours here is blue, black and white. It is constant throughout the page and doesn't change. The photograph that has been used of The Teenagers gives off a "I don't care" attitude, and lazy. There are also pictures of ladies on the back wall, which ties in with the "filthy" music that they produce. The way the pictures have been scattered across the wall gives off the impression that they're messy, maybe even messy personalities as well. The idea of messiness links with the idea of dirtiness and sexual references. The photograph of the band links with the story about them very well.
Like the previous two double page spread's, this one also uses similar techniques. They centre the main story into the middle of the page, surrounding it by photographs, extra information and headlines. Which draws the audience in for more. This double page spread looks particularly interesting because of the colourful main photograph. And how well the photograph links with the actual story, whereas the other two didn't tie in with their story quite so well as this one does. Other bands are displayed on the right side of the page, which could attract readers who enjoy listening to their music, this leads them to read an article about a band that isn't well known, and maybe even give them a listen, this then gets The Teenagers more fans.
