Analysis of Magazine Covers - Analysis of NME front cover


  • The main colour scheme, also known as the house style is pink, white and black. These colours have connotations of 'rock-chick', so maybe this is the audience they are targeting.
  • The main central image is of a band of five males, positioned in a pyramid shape. This tells us the male stood at the top of the pyramid is the most important member of the band; e.i. he could be the lead singer.
  • The layout is quite busy. The stories have been positioned to look like they are exploding out of the central image, which grabs the readers attention.
  • The masthead is positioned in the top left-hand corner, with the main central image covering parts of the masthead slightly. This suggests that the company are so confident that their magazine will be recognized that they can cover up parts of the masthead, and readers will still be able to tell it is 'NME'.
  • The fonts used are all sans-serif, which gives the impression of being relaxed and informal. This also makes them easy to read.
