NME magazine analysis

This is the front cover for NME a music magazine. This magaizne is very popular with the music industry and to some consumers of music. there are many music magazines around now that there is a lot of competition between the types, everyone has different tastes in the genre of the music that they like, its hard to attract the audience. it is important the magazines sell it self and this is buy talking about or informing the consumers/buyers about the artist/bands on the front page. as you can see in NME it is done by using bold and bright fonts for the names of the artists, this makes them stand out and catches the customers eye. the magazine should tell us a lot by just looking at the cover and NME does. it tells us what type of music it consists of. it also tells us who the interviews are of, also informs us if there are any festivals and who is going to be singing.

the picture that is used on the front cover is also very important. NME have used The Wombats, the image as you can see has been edited to use on the front cover. the way the picture is taken is good becuase it attracts the audience especially girls. when looking at the magazine, i analysed quiet a lot of NME magazines and it is very easy to tell that the magazine is that of NME because of the colours that are used, they are quiet similar. the name of the magazine is always in the same colour and the font. its always in RED this is important because red is a very powerful colour and it catches the audiences eye straight away!
