The image on this double page spread shows who the article is about, it takes up a large amount of the spread showing Lily Allen's importance. Her dark hair and makeup and pale skin with the red checkered shirt matches NME house style colours. The camera angle is also looking slightly up at her and her body is position leaning slightly forward, this shows she is perhaps superior and important. However this is ambiguous as when reading the headline, it is like she is telling the audience a secret and her body position almost looks as if she is leaning forward to tell us a secret.

The text is set out like cut outs of a newspaper, this makes the article less formal and more playful, appealing to readers as first impressions of the magazine do not appear boring. An enlarged quote is also used for the coverline of the article, giving the audience an idea of the contents of the article. In relation to the picture the text binds in with the fact it is like she is telling a secret as she is saying it directly to the audience in an exclusive interview.

The birght white colour in the background of the magazine in contrast with the bold black and red colours makes the text and image stand out, making them the audiences main focus in the spread.

The design of this magazie has been set out so that the image takes up the whole right side of the spread and the headline also is very large and takes up a majority of the left hand side of the spread, this is perhaps so that the readers are not put off by large amounts of text. The design of this spread gives off a fun and creative feel through the fonts and placings of text and images, perhaps attracting the younger target audience with its authentic feel.
