NME magazine is also another popular music magazine. There is not much information on this magazine cover, I find it quite boring however people who are committed to buying it every week would not think it was boring. The main image is a picture of a singer La Roux. La Roux is quite new to the music industry, this is shown in her face as her face has been edited to look clean, fresh and new. For example the teardrops down her eyes have a sparkle on them like they are new and shiny, her eye make-up also looks fresh also because of the fact it is blue. Water is represented as the colour blue therefore is another reason why she is fresh and clean. The idea of her being new and fresh could also be the idea that she is rather different to any other pop star, the way she dresses and the way she does her hair and make-up. The top she is wearing is kind of shell like which could represent her coming out of shell to become a pop star.
The mast head is the name of the magazine which is NME. The colour of the mast head is red, the colour red is a quite passionate colour therefore it could mean they are passionate about their magazine. The font of the mast head is quite big and looks like it has been stamped on the page. This draws readers in because its like the producers are telling them you must see this, kind of like a letter which has IMPORTANT stamped on it. The producers being passionate about their magazine is also shown in the cover line at the top right of the magazine, it says ‘special magazine, the future of music’ they make their magazine sound the best out of all of the music magazine. The fact it says ‘special issue’ also draws the readers in more too because it obviously has some information in that is exclusive or it could mean the magazine is bigger that certain week.
The main cover line relates to the main image. ‘Starring LA ROUX, I’m a whole new kind of pop star’, this catches the readers attention especially if they are a fan of La Roux because inside the magazine there is going to be some sort of interview with LA Roux and because of her being a new pop star people will want her to know about her and what she is like.
Another cover line which is just like a main cover line is ‘The future 50, the bands, the artists, the innovators’. This cover line doesn’t really make much sense for example the future 50, the bands could mean the 50 bands in the future however the reader could be left asking, future bands for what? Or how do the producers know what the next 50 bands are going to be? That’s why it is a good cover line to catch peoples eye and make them want to buy it to enable them to find about these future 50 bands. Also the cover line is big and the best bit of information is the part that is in a big font this catches peoples eyes.
Just in front of the mast head is a circle with a cover line inside it which talks about ‘exclusive, arctic monkeys new secret single and how to get it’. The positioning of this cover line catches the readers eye as it is right in front of the mast head which is one of the first things that the reader looks at. Also the reader will feel more obliged to buy it as they can find out how to get this new single exclusively, which could mean that hardly anyone else will be able to get it unless they buy and read this magazine.
At the bottom left corner of the magazine is another cover line which says ‘plus’ then says four artists/bands names, the reason that these names are at the bottom of the magazine where they are not noticed as much as some of the information on the magazine could be because they are not as popular or good as the other artists mentioned in the other cover lines. Also the font and colour of the cover line is rather boring and small therefore that is one of the reasons it is not noticed as much as the others.
The price, and date/issue number of the magazine is just underneath the cover line about arctic monkeys single however it is quite hidden, this could be because a lot of the readers of this magazine buy the issue every week therefore already know how much the magazine costs.
This magazine cover obeys the conventions of a music magazine it has the price, bar code, cover lines, main image, mast head and main cover line, however I think it is rather boring therefore it could have some more interesting information and add a bit more colour.
