Every magazine has a double page spread/ feature article with a famous artist in many music magazines. To be one of the top leading music magazines this has to consist of a really good journalistic style and structure. I think that due to NME being a more popular magazine choice i feel that the style it is written must be more superior and popular with readers. Therefore, this would be a good model to look at more closely the journalistic style and structure of the article below.
This feature article is from the music magazine NME, which is not the type of genre i want to do for my magazine but i like the style and structure of the article. It catches the readers interest from the title as it is in a large font with blue coloured background. The colour blue is used in the colour scheme and is associated with key/important parts of the text, for example 'NEED TO KNOW' at the bottom left of the page is used to attract the readers attention and to read it, again which has a background text box coloured blue.
This quote catches the readers attention to both male or females as it is funny and is something that interests readers of this age. The journalist has placed it in the middle of text which makes it stand out from the rest of the text. The text and quotes are made easy to read for the reader.
The picture dominates the magazine and uses direct address making the magazine look interesting as they are situated in a bedroom, led on a bed. This is a typical stereotype of boys which also links to their band name 'teenagers'. There is a good use various fonts on the double page spread, to make it visually interesting and eye catching. On the right side of the page is quotes from the band members informing readers about other bands they like and find interesting. The quote 'young, dumb and full of...filthy tunes' suggests they are a typical boy band and is structured to interest typical teenage readers. The style of the article is well presented and the structure is used efficiently to make it look attractive and easy to read at the same time catching the readers interest.
