Music Magazine Front Cover Analysis II

The Layout of this particular front cover utilizes only a selection of font’s, which present a more formal atmosphere than that of Kerrang!. The Image of the artist overlaps the title of NME, suggesting that the magazine’s name is well known, and as such does not necessarily have to be displayed in full. The main heading covers the image of the artists, but is arranged so its not covering any of their faces. ‘Artic Monkeys’ is also highlighted out by the fact it is in another colour to the rest of the headline. The advertised contents are listed at the bottom of the page, perhaps so that none of the focus is taken off the main article. The white font and the light coloured image contrasts with the jet black background.
