This time NME has gone on an approach that reflects the artists personality. ily Allen is known for her explosive outbursts, drunken solo whammies and not caring what anybody think. ME uswd this to their advantage. 'LILY ALLEN TAKES ON THE WORLD' written in a ransom note, cut out of magazine (ironic huh) block letter style.This reflects Lilys darker side to her career. Along with the text, to which reprosents her persona, we have the colours. Lily is wearing red and has white skin and black hair. Almost every thing is in these colurs. EXCEPT the yellow. The yellow is used to make certain things stand out. For instance. it would be hard to notice David Bowie in the top as he blends in. But surround it in yellow, which stands out and counteracts with the other colours,  he is clearly seen. I will be replicating this especially in text.

The photo is very unique in replicating the tone of the main article. The photo is very offensive (not in terms of offending) the is poised in an aggressive manner. This pose is a signal to the reader depicting what will happen in the article. Make up on her eyes make them stand out and the slight head tilt hits at her emotion.

Text take place at the side of the article. This leaves room for the main text body "Lily Allen takes on the world" and room for the main image of Lily. They also contrast the other colours with the yellow. The yellow colour is a sub-colour so it is only used when necessary. I will be doing this in my my mag as It, well, WORKS!

What is unique is the fact that the logo isn't in the direct corner. I will not be replicating this as this is neither a code nor convention.
