Magazine Research: NME

For my second music magazine research I chose to do it on the latest NME issue. Like the first magazine this one stood out to me on the shelf. It mainly stood out to me by its use of colours on its cover page. Another reason why it stood out was the use of images on its front cover and how they were layer out. The images covered the majority of the cover page only leaving a small space for pull quotes and the magazines barcode.The main masthead is in a bold block lettering with a dark gold fill to it. The main character to fill the front cover is Johnny Marr so will be well known to NMEs audience which will help them to pull in more readers. Overall this NME front cover is well designed as it displays what stories are in the magazine and who is in it as well.
