- The forms and conventions used for the NME magazine covers are: Red, White and Black font, the Title at the top left-hand corner is a blocky, bold font. Central images. It also represents the music world in a relaxed view and reveals current affairs aswell as music news.
- I am unsure on what background I'd like my magazine cover to have, however I am fond about the Black and White image of Joe Strummer as this makes the text look more important but in contrast having the image black and white creates the effect of the magazine being different to others.
- The thing I like most about the NME magazine covers is that the writing is bold because of the colour Red but the image also stands out. The target audience is indie/rock music fans of both genders and mostly people age ranging from teens to late twenties.
- The information on the cover is surrounding the individual on all of these magazines and the focus is on both the text and image. However, words like 'plus', 'your reaction', 'the truth', 'special edition' and 'inside' are used to draw the reader inside the magazine.
- It is also apparent that the Header on the NME magazines is placed infront of the image which makes it seem like the title of the magazine makes it unique and should stand out.
- In all of the images, the character is looking directly at the camera which forms a relationship between the magazine and the reader.
- The language on the front cover of the NME magazine is rather formal. I believe this is because there is a slight limitation because there are no articles or reviews on the front cover where an informal writing style may be used; instead there are only coverlines, kickers and explanatory text which should be clear, concise and to the point
