The magazine is produced by ‘NME’. The target audience is, generally, people that like bands and rock music. I think this because of the way the pictures come across. On the one I am analyzing, the main picture is a man with a moody face. Around this picture, there are smaller images. They are all drug-related bands. The color scheme is red and white. The price of the magazine is £2.30. ‘NME’ magazine is published on a monthly basis. It is sold in supermarkets such as Tescos and all WH Smith branches.

The title of the magazine is “NME”. This stands for ‘New Musical Express’. It is this title because every month there is music topics in it. The masthead is “Glasvegas Rock ‘N’ Roll Returns”. This is the masthead as this attracts the audience. It is catchy and not boring. The strap line is ‘NME AWARDS NOMINATIONS REVEALED’. This will attract the audience to buy the magazine as they may be interested in this topic. The main image is of a man standing topless. He has no facial expression. He is just standing with a neutral face. He is staring directly into the camera. He has his hands in his pockets. This shows poor, not-bothered body language. This attracts the reader as it is eye catching and this may be the readers favorite band, which helps the magazine sell even more. There are four other images on the front cover. This has been done as if some people aren’t attracted to the main topic and are attracted to these other four images, this will help sell the magazine as this will attract the reader. The font on the front cover is big bold. The title is black on a red background.

The masthead is white on a red background. The captions accompanying the images, are all white and black on a red and white background. The fonts are bigger and bolder in some cases, but really small in other cases. All this has been done to grab the readers attention. There is text in black on the mans body. This has been done to ‘talk’ to the reader. This has been done to make the reader feel at ease.
