Language: This matches the cover which I have posted below. They have kept the same text and colour scheme throughout both pieces which I will also do on mine in order to make my magazine seem professional. Lily is still supporting the ‘anti-image’ which goes against high-street fashion showing her rebellious streak. Her hair is messy and her outfit is quite tom-boy which suggests she doesn’t really care what people think of her which is a denotation that NME magazine do not care what people think of them and are glad to rebellion against typical high street fashion and popular music. This is also shown through the text which looks like it has been cut out and in different font sizes which looks like someone has just hand-made this and doesn’t really care about looking professional which continues this not caring denotation and rebellion. On the double page we can see how the whole article is going to be about Lily even though her name is not mentioned in the main title. Long shot, so we can see more of the outfit than on the cover, large image takes up the whole of the right hand side of the page showing she is important, we can also see the text is going to be related to her due to random bits of text been written in red which matches her t-shirt showing how the text is going to be about her. The large title and image make the page seem more visually appealing because it looks only a short amount to read and the quote from the text adds interest for the audience because it feels personal to Lily and if she is being ‘Honest’ then we will want to know what she is being honest about and find out the truth about Lily Allen especially if the audience are a fan of Lily Allen, which is likely due to they have bought the magazine with her on the cover.
Institution: NME Magazine
Values/Ideology of NME Magazine: They will value indie and rock genre of music, the ‘anti-image’ something or someone that is different and stands out amongst your typical celebrity’s. They will be up to date with festivals such as Leeds Festival, T in the park and Glastonbury which will be in their music genre. They will value youth and living in the moment.
Target Audience: For this particular article it will be Lily Allen fans or someone who is interested in what she has to talk about. People who have heard or like her style of music and are interested in this genre. However the whole image represents indie rock which will appeal to people who are interested in this music genre even if they have never heard of Lily Allen.
Representation: This represents Lily Allen’s personality as well as the magazine in general. Lily Allen is not known for being girly or classy so it represents her personality and her rebellious side throughout the article due to the text, colour scheme and her image as a whole. However this artist will have also been picked by this magazine because NME magazine is not a typical pop or high-street fashion magazine, its genre of music mainly includes indie-rock and indie fashion which Lily represents well. The connation throughout the magazine is youth’s rebellion and this is shown in many different ways which make this magazine stand out and be different as if they do not care what other people think of them and are happy to be shown as different and less professional and less serious than other magazines which is why this relates to teenagers and youth because they are young and almost free living so they will be less serious and care less what people think about them.
