more photography based, this is something I am going to consider
when making my final double page spread.

Symmetry is not used in this design. The article text is on the right page of the
design and is presented in three columns. This is done to draw the readers attention
to the bottom right hand page in the terminal area. In the primary optical focus area we se the artists face, this
draws the readers attention. The headline is placed above the rest of the text and is
bold, this makes it stand out from the page.
The main focus of the image is the artist, by positioning the artist on the left page
draws the readers attention. In the image the artists gives direct address. The artists is wearing all black which ties in with the
colour scheme and also the red on the American flag fits with the colour scheme. The American flag fits in with the theme of
the article we know this because of the USA title placed behind the artist. The lighting in the image is high key with makes the artist seem more serious.
The house style of NME magazine is consistent
throughout. The colour scheme on this page is red white and black. The layout of the pages are similar, which makes the magazine seem more formal.
This page uses rule of thirds in the way the artist is positioned on the page. The artist is positioned on the left hand side along the cross sections of the rule of thirds, by doing this the audience is drawn towards the image.
