Drafting and Planning

This is a two page spread of the Arctic Monkey's from NME magazine, and is a very different two page spread as the picture takes up all two pages and the interview is on the next page, with a brief summary below the picture. .As Alex Turner is wearing sunglasses and smoking  it is telling the audience he is the lead singer, due to him standing out thanks to the props and the other band member's staying in the background.Also as he is smoking it portrays him with attitude and this will reflect that the band are very confident in their own ability in making music.

Also the photo shoot being shot outdoors by a caravan. This adds mystery to the band as you don't usually see a double page spread in a music magazine being outside. Also this will help pull in the reader as they will want to know why the band have been shot there because it does not really reflect the band, thus adding mystery.

NME use this a lot, but not many other music magazine's do and if I use this in my two page spread it will make mine look more professional and tell the audience who my lead singer is. Therefore in my photo shoot I will bring props for my lead singer and make the other band members stay in the background to distinguish them from the rest of the band!
