Image of Dizzee rascal looking

mischievous with an over the


shoulder look while spray painting
the background. This shows the
rebellious character that he achieves
to show in the magazine. This
character relates to the rock genre of
the magazine.
There is no obvious grid layout with
the main image of this spread but it is
clearly placed in the middle of the
background and it could be suggested
that the magazine has used the rule
of thirds to create the image in a
professional centre.

The messy, unclear and multi-
coloured background could also
suggest the genre of the magazine
and could express Dizzees
personality as he is the centre of
attention.
The language of this double spread,
an example of play on words: From
rags to riches, suggesting that he
used to be poor and has achieved a
lot in his life. By replacing the word
rags for tags this implies that he
used to use graffiti before he became
famous, which shows his bad side to
him and also suggesting his is a
regular guy. Not only this, but this
language of the main title From tags
to riches itergrates with the main
image because the graffiti that is in
the main image is often talked about
as Tags.
The scattered beer bottles at the bottom of this page also suggests to the messy
background of the main image and could also show that Dizzee is representing a
young and care-free perception into the magazine and could also give the
audience an insight to what he might be like behind the scenes, enticing us to
read more.
By choosing Dizzee to wear a red
jacket it also fits in with the
colour scheme from the magazine
name NME which is the same
colour red. This colour red is used
in all pages that I have analysed.
This is called branding the
magazine.
The use of the space on this
double page spread uses Is
useful as I think the target
audience will be a young one
and therefore will not want to
read a mass amount, the main
image and title of this spread
only leaves a small amount for
the article. Therefore this makes
the audience feel like they are
not reading a mass amount at a
time.
The overall impression given to this double page spread
is showing the past and background to this celebrity and
that music can often be a mixture of messy pasts. From
tags to riches suggests that the text is about Dizzee
Rascals past before he became famous.
