ANALYSING FRONT COVER - NME


This magazine cover for a world wide known magazine 'NME' appeals to a 'mass market' audience. The main image and only image on this front cover is of Lily Allen, with her being a well known singer in the music industry this would be vital to catching attention to the browsers eye. The masthead 'NME' is in the top third of the magazine, its a well known logo so it has to be shown. The main headline 'Lily Allen takes on the world' is very exaggerated, to make a point to the reader, making them want to take a look inside. This main headline is white writing with a black backing, really makes it stand out from the rest od the cover. This is supported by a quote 'i cant keep on living like this, its doing my head in' The use of modern day speaking terms 'doing my head in' will appeal to a modern day, maybe younger audience. The editor of the magazine would have chosen to put this quote on there for that specific reason. The use of pugs and puffs shows the reader what this magazine has to offer, what information about certain bands etc. All the pugs and puffs all have a coloured background, making it stand out from the white background of the magazine. At the bottom of this magazine a band of red is illustrated with plenty of band names; asyndetic listing, which portrays how much infomation this magazine does contain about certain bands/artists. With the word 'PLUS' infront of it, illustrating that as well as what you can already see on the front cover, the mgazine also has infomation on all these bands. Overall this magazine is a eye catching authentic magazine which will appeal to the eye.
