The title for this NME double paged spread is very disjointed and uneven, this is a representation of the artist, Lily Allen as it’s known that she’s been disjointed in the past and this can be an insight to what the article entails. The artist is known for being unconventional, therefore to represent that NME have done an unconventional title. The title takes over half of the double pages spread and goes onto the other page which is also very unconventional for a magazine to do, again giving the readers a knowledge of what the article and artist are about. This double page spread also has the conventional colour scheme of red black and white. The article is only 4 short columns which as the younger generation stereotypically like more images than reading this appeals to them, and also as the quote takes up nearly half of the double page spread that has narrowed the article down. The main image is smaller than the quote from the article, the positioning of the artist is leaning forward looking as if she’s listening gives a personal connection to within the article as if the artist is listening to what you have to say.  Having the wacky text and the artist looking subtle and not outrageous makes it more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to look at. 
I want my quote to represent the artist in my magazine like so, so that the readers get an insight before reading the article as to what the artist is about. However I don’t feel I will have my quote as large as this NME double page spread as it takes up to much of the page and also the main image smaller than normal. My magazine will have a reasonable sized quote and large image on the left hand side, other than smaller image on the right and oversized quote. Although my target audience is of the younger generation the article will be longer than this NME article so cater for my whole target demographic.
