evaluation of NME music magazine

The most eye catching thing on the front cover is the main title and the logo of the magazine. It immediately catches the reader’s eye, and as NME is a widely known magazine the readers become interested. The only photograph takes up the whole front cover and has a bright mustard yellow background. The magazine uses a three colour palette, red yellow and white. The main feature is Pete Doherty, his name and face is the biggest thing on the magazine. Apart from the NME logo, the thing that sells the magazine is the face of the front cover, they are always famous with an interesting sell lines. For example all the typical NME readers would have heard Pete Doherty’s music, so therefore would be curious to learn and hear about what new sound Pete may be producing when the saw a quote from him saying, “It’s completely different to anything else I have done”.
There a lot of well known band names which are all slightly different types of music shown on the front cover which is done to attract every possible potential reader.
After looking at NME which is a widely known and popular music magazine, I started to look I at how I could make my own magazine and I decided to go in the opposite direction. I decided to study and concentrate on the same sort and genres of music as NME but on a different level, I wanted to find out about acts and bands before they were signed, still following the basic ideas and style of NME.
