Research
The photograph used for this Front Cover show the band
socializing outside what appears to be one of there homes. The shot is a mid-
shot and this gives the audience a sense of being on the same level as the band. This closeness is re-enforced by the eye contact given by
all 4 members within the picture. The choice of black and white emphasizes the
class of the photograph and gives the overall front cover
an unusual sense of territory.
The colour scheme on this Front Cover is Black, White and Red. These colours run in sync with the punk, indie & emo all of which
NME covers and contains. The colour scheme, led by this Front Cover is continued throughout and allows the audience to
familiarize themselves with the magazine and feel as if it is their own.
There is only one main font used on this Front Cover.
The font for the main articles title and magazine title are both around the
same larger size. This is to obtain the audiences attention. One is a
chunkier version of the other. This clear style font
is a convention of the music genre featured here. For the subheadings/pull quotes the same text is
used but in a smaller size. The large size and in red
text help focus the reader towards the words which
advertises the article inside.
• The front cover has the look of an old photo album, this helps
add to the intimacy of the photography and appeals to audience. It is eye catching,
particularly with the use of red, to emphasize the black and
white of the rest of the page.
Front Cover
The are several photographs used in this Contents Page. This signifies to the audience that there is a
lot within the magazine and advertises a wide range of topics covered. The shots are all of
different people and emphasize the wide range of music genres covered. NME is stereotypically
known for being a broad music magazine.
Because of the differences in the colours of the separate photographs, there is a simple black and white colour scheme. It lacks the typical
third colour of red and this is so it doesn’t clash with any of the colours in the pictures.
There are a lot of pull quotes on this page for specific reasons;
- To advertise the vast range of materials within the magazine.
- To emphasize the separate articles.- - To make it easier for the audience to find the
specific page they’re looking for.
There have been several different fonts used on this Contents page. The font for the main body of the article is a simple font which is easy for the audience to read. The pull quotes use two versions of the same font. One is an italics version of the other. For the adverts and extras a new font has been used
but it is not overly bold or in italics. Contents Page continued…

This contents page relies heavily on images to fill the space. The writing is quite bare and there is even an advert to fill some more of
the space. This could be reflective of the audience and the amount of time they are
prepared to spend reading . A short pull quote in the centre of the page has been used to
focus the audience's attention towards there.
The contents page has the look of a scrapbook in places. It is eye catching, particularly with
the use of black and white. The contents page follows many conventions of a broad music
genre with the use of distressed fonts.
Contents Page
The photographs used on this DPS show the band performing live.
This supports the article. The shots are a mixture of mid-shots and close-ups. This gives a sense of
closeness between the band and the audience. This natural intimacy is emphasized through the down to
earth style of photography. The choice of black , white and green is
simple but works in sending a healthy message to the audience.
The article is mainly a description of the bands music from the beginning right up to the present. The language
is plain and fairly informal. A lot of the article is made up of quotes from the band. The reading age is around 21 years old which fits with the both the style of magazine and the band.
Key uses of slang and similar language include the words ‘magical’
and ‘veiled’. This kind of language paints a picture of the band, their
music and their audience.
The colour scheme on this double page spread is black, white and white. These colours are stereotypical of the
punk, rock and indie genres of music which NME covers. By following this convention the magazine allows the
audience to feel at home with the colour scheme. It helps an audience see that this magazine is made for them
Double Page Spread
This double page spread is full of text. The article itself is quite
long and even with the addition of a timeline there is
still a lot of reading material on the page. This could be
reflective of the audience and the amount of time they are
prepared to spend reading . A random short pull quote has
been used to focus the audience's attention and this has been followed up with a
sub heading to give an insight into what the article is about
The double page spread appeals to the audience through the vast amount of text which fits the audiences reading capacity's. It is eye catching, particularly with the use of green, a natural and earthy colour to emphasize the stark black and white of the rest of the page. The double
page spread follows many conventions of the broad rock music genre, informal photography at live gigs bands shown performing and use of distressed fonts.
Double Page Spread
The photograph is a set of separate images that set the band apart. Each image is a different band
member all put onto the same front cover. The shot is a mid-shot and this gives the audience a sense of being on the same level as the band. This closeness is then questioned by the lack of eye contact given by all 4 members within the picture. They are all
wearing sunglasses.
The front cover has a layered and collaged look, this helps add to the differences of the separate band
members and appeals to audience. It is eye catching but surprisingly eye-catching. This is because the
front cover is made of simple and dull colours which fits in with they stereotypes of this particular music
genre.
There is only one main font used on this Front Cover. The font for the main articles title and magazine title are both around the same larger size. This is to obtain the audiences attention. One is a chunkier version of the other. This clear style font is a convention of the music genre featured here. For the subheadings/pull quotes the same text is used but in a smaller size. The
large size and in grey text help focus the reader towards the words which advertises the article inside.
Contents Page
This photograph is perfect for a contents page because it is laid out as if to suggest that the articles within the
magazine are presented to us as a door into another music genre.
The text to picture ratio is pretty even, the body on the right hand side kind of balances out the
text on the left hand side.
The colour scheme is simple. The black and white
photography allows the red title texts and headings stand out even more.
There are several main fonts within this double page
spread. The pull quote at the bottom of this page is in a
totally different and enlarged font to advertise it better
and make it more noticeable. The title of the magazine is even more emphasized at the top of the page and is the biggest word on the
page. This allows the audience to become more at home with the magazine and
so to speak, make it their own.
The smaller main text which describes the
articles signals the amount the intended audience is
willing to read.
Double Page Spread
This double page spread looks as if it
could be two separate pages. This
works well in distancing the artist from what they says.
The black and white of the photograph and the
text and background fully brings out the big red L which stands for Gaga.
The image is of a naked Lady Gaga and is possibly signalling a no-bars-hold
interview. This shows how much the target audience are willing to take in and
read.
The chains in the photograph lead us to believe they will be discussed in the
interview.

Contents Page
There is a very simple and easy to digest layout to this contents page. There is nothing too difficult in the layout which may bore a
reader into stopping reading.
This suggests a younger target
audience, possibly rebellious teenage through the main image shown on
this page. The articles and blocks
of texts are separated into
smaller chunks for the target
audience. The magazine would
not work as well if it didn’t do this. It
works well in aiding the
audience in growing to feel
part of the magazine as a
whole.
Double Page Spread
The Pull quote is purposely placed right in the middle to gather the audiences attention. Once they have
read this they will continue to read the full interview.
The whole double page spread looks like a form
of scrapbook and fits the genre of rock and roll and rock music.
