Music Magazine Covers

This magazine cover is really busy and contains lots to look at on the front page. The main headline in the middle of the page stands out immediatley with its bright yellow background and bold red writing. It will appeal to a wide variety of people because it has a variety of genres on the cover such as Little Boots, The Killers, Florence and The Machine and White Lies. It also has four genres of music in the bottom right corner of the cover; "Dance, Hip-Hop, Metal and Indie". It appeals to both genders and many different music tastes and the age range of this magazine would be 15-40 generally. The photo of Florence from Florence and The Machine takes up most of the space on the right hand side of the cover and is bigger than the title of the magazine which will help to sell more copies as she is a popular artist. There are a few sub headings, "The Killers" up at the top, "Scene Reports" at the bottom right corner and also "50 Years of Motown" at the top right. Each artist on the left hand side also has a heading and a picture to themselves. The three primary colours used on the NME cover are black, yellow and red which suggests that it is aimed at men mainly although many women still buy it. Everything on the cover is very bold and stands out which leaves you with a lot of information to take in on the cover.
