This double page spread, from NME again, is dominated by the image of MUSE


The WARNING has the two lines, one above and one below which is exactly what the Muse logo looks like. It looks effective and adds importance to Muse.

The large image of the Band shows them looking at the camera, maybe slightly looking down to show power too. The room shows many guitars, cables and normal touring equipment. The electric guitars are probably on show because one, they are a rock band, two, because two of band members are said to be fantastic guitarists and three, because it looks so cool! Which is what NME want to get across; Muse are cool, rock music (and alternative) is cool, and that's why they are featured in NME because that is their ideology - to make rock and alternative appear cool.

The text isn't in columns, but that could be because there is little text. The page number is present and so is a main title, picture and brief description which sums up the title.
