This is an NME double page spread of the band 'The Teenagers'. As usual, NME use a small collection of colours to not overcomplicate things and make the page easy for viewing. White, black and a light blue are used as these colours can signify rock but blue also dennotes as calming, laid back feel. This links to the name of the band and the stereotype that teenagers are laid back. The main image also plays on this stereotype as the picture is of the band members laying on a bed. The room is supposed to represent a typical teenager's room with lots of posters on the walls etc. The band members have all adopted a relaxed, plain and laid back expression which adds to the relaxed vibe created by the rest of the page. This spread has been cleverly divided into the two pages. The lefthand page has been used for the main image and the righthand page has been used for the text. This is effective because its simple and also the headline has been split across both pages so the reader links the picture to the text. The blue colour has been used sparingly around the page as a background to draw the readers eyes to important information on the page. Down the righthand side a black background is used for the only time on this spread. This is because this part of the spread is separate from the main story and isn't related. White writing is used to make the text stand out and the heading says 'EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT...' which will intrest the reader. Overall, this is an effective double page spread with the basic use of images, colour etc. that will keep the reader interested and informed.
