This double page spread from NME features Lily Allen. The Black colour of the text/her hair contrasts with the red colour of her shirt. Lily Allen is renound for being edgy and having an attitude about her, the effect around the writing suggests this, as well as this, the pose of her photograph and her facial expression also insinuates that she is confident and bold.
The writing on this double page spread is split into four columns and it appears that there isnt much writing. The picture and the pull quote dominate more or less the entire double page spread and the quote shows the reader what the tone of the interview will be before they even start to read it. The page number is featured on the bottom left hand corner of the left page so that the reader can easily access the story by just flicking through the page numbers.
