Music Magazine, Front Cover Analysis 1

   The masthead "NME" is placed in the left corner stating which magazine it is. Next is the main image, this is of Paramore, this is used to show that NME are focusing on that particular band, the main singer Hayley is placed at the front to show that she is the lead singer with the rest of the band behind her. Next are the subsidiary images on this specific cover there aren't any this is so that the main focus is on the main image. Then there are the sell lines, all together there are seven of them this makes up for the lack of subsidiary images. This NME cover has many ways of informing the public of important events, such as the sell line in the top left corner saying "685 UK gigs listed". The  main image is on a plain white background with the band's name in a dark pink, however the colour scheme differs between each issue of NME but usually leaving the MastHead in the same Red ,White and Black. The audience targeted are at an age group of 18+ we understand this from the use of language such as "guns". The magazine also involves the reader by asking "will you?" as a rhetorical question.
