Review of NME Magazine Cover.


Font:  the font used on this magazine cover is very bold and colourful, this is so it stands out and attracts the attention of the target audience which is people in the age range of 14-24. The title is situated at the very top of the page in a regular font and it is easily noticeable.
Text: the text used is large and 'in your face'. it is very colourful which attracts the attention of the target audience. NME have used the specific names of the bands/solo artists that will feature in this addition this would attract the fans of these bands/solo artists.
Colour: the colours used are both bright and dark colours, giving off the impression of which type of music that will be wrote about inside the magazine. In this case it is up beat and deep alternative music.
Body Language/Staging: the body language used is inviting the audience, directly looking at the camera and it takes up the full frame.
Framing: the main image takes up most of the frame with writing over it explaining the inner stories and what will feature inside. There are more photos round the main image which attracts different audience. Even though the masthead is partly covered by the main picture it is easy to recognise as it is a very well known music magazine NME.
Lighting: lighter in the middle of the magazine behind the centre image, putting more attention on the main image. Giving the target audience the idea of what the main story within the magazine will be.
Composition:(overall design/layout): the front cover isn't too packed, you are able to read all the writing which is giving ideas of inside stories. Attracts fans of the certain artists that feature on the front cover.
