This is nme magazine. The magazine is seen as a kind of punk/indie magazine. The magazine cover has many differant things used on it attract audiences. First thing you see when you look at this cover is the big bold Red writing. This coupled with the large virtually full page picture is probable the most effective technique used to attract peoples eye to the cover. It works very effectivly because it is big bold and vibrant. The cover itself is a very dark cover and does not contain any bright strong colours. This is normal for this type of magazine as it appeals more to their target audience than if it was say pink. The cover seems to the eye very busy. This is because of lots of little stories and large pictures. The page is dominated by the large picture, but the designers cleverly put all the side stories and captions in white and cream. This is good because even thought the large portion of writing is red you eye still gets pulled to the seperate captions. The magazine cover suites its audience very well as it contains stories they want to hear and have cleverly put the most enticing stories on the front cover to make sure the potential readers can see what they will be reading.
I think this cover is very well suited to its purpose and is very cleverly designed
