In this double page spread, one of the interesting attributes is the use of red to highlight words of particular importance, such as the artist's name and the name of the writer of the article. The indication of red to imply importance is used once again in the costume worn in the image of the artist. This shows to the reader that the most important part of the feature is the artist, as well as making it easier to work out who the article is about for those readers unfamiliar with Lily Allen. The font used in the title is interesting as it is disjointed and almost choatic because of the differing sizes of the letters, which perhaps suggests that the artist may be slightly controversial, and consequently intrigues the reader.
One part of this double page spread that I may find useful to implement into my own, is the use of a drop capital at the beginning of the text. Also, one smaller aspect of the article that I have taken inspiration from is the page numbers, and the fact that there is white font on a red background, even though I have decided to use red on black instead in order to fit with the house style of my magazine. This allows for a discreet way to pursue their colour scheme of red and white, furthering brand recognition and contributing to the clear house style that is consistent throughout NME magazines.
