NME: colour scheme black,white and red
The headline of this double page spread is a quote from the text from Lily Allen's interview which draws the reader in. The image of Lily Allen is very large and striking and direct address draws the readers in and captures their attention.
The article is split into 4 columns which is started by a drop capital which lets the reader know where to start reading. The article is aimed at teenagers as it is from the magazine NME. The stand first tells the reader what the article is about and the by-line tells us the journalist and photographer.
