Indie double page spread 3

This is another double page spread from NME magazine, they have again used one full page for an image, however, in this spread they have taken out a small section of the "text" side of the spread for another picture. This attracts the reader’s eye because it is seen as different and it takes a while for the reader to see that it is an entirely different image. The side of the spread with the image on is broken up with the bold name of the band "The Chapman Family". This block of text breaks up the image making it more suitable for a magazine. On the other side of the spread, the text is presented in three columns, the second and the third being broken up by a quote from the rest of the interview. In the corners of the page, there are little images that catch the attention of the readers and invite them to turn the page over and carry on reading. I don’t think this double page spread is as good as the other two that I have analysed due to the fact that it lacks eye-catching colours and something different to make the text look interesting. If you aren’t a big fan of the band I don’t think you would bother to read the text presented here.
