This double page spread is taken from 'NME' Magazine. The main focal point of the image is the large photograph of Lily Allen located on the right, besides the text. Her code of dress is a red checked shirt which could reflect the genre of the magazine. Her code of gesture is her with her hands on her hips. Her code of expression is her with a neutral, serious look. This combined, suggests that she has an attitude. Stereotypically, a reader of NME Magazine/ a fan of that particular genre of music could relate to this and have a similar personality in that they are rebellious. She is looking directly at the camera, drawing an audience in. I think an important feature of the double page spread is the text. They have used capital letters in amongst lower case at random. I think this has the effect of newspaper text, and could be symbolic in that stereotypically, teenagers/ young adults like and prefer to be unique.
