Analysing Music Magazine Front Covers; NME



NME is a British, up to date weekly music magazine. It's genre covers everything from soft indie to rock n' roll, so it's cover is designed to draw in all sorts of young, music lovers. Informing it's readers of the essential weekly news, interviews with stars, rewiews of albums, tracks and gigs, and acting as the UK's most essential gig guide, NME ticks all the boxes for a great music read.


It's bold, red title is easy to spot and recognise and is eye catching on a bland, newsagent shelf. It's font is bold and consistent, so band names are obvious and can be easily indentified, instantly drawing in an audience. A large and good quality, unusual, well framed close up photo is bound to draw attension. A small bar code and fair marked price are placed in the bottom right corner. Other headlines, in a variety of fonts but still fitting the colour scheme, are dotted around the edges of the mag. Overall, a well designed and suitable front cover for it's genre and target audience.
