NME Front cover

NME is a music magazine that appeals to a large range of musical tastes. It has a simple but effective front cover with a picture of a very successful band (OASIS). The picture is a posed photo of the band and is likely to attract a very high audience as OASIS is a famous international band. Oasis are an English rock band that formed in Manchester in 1991. The group was formed by Liam Gallager who were soon joined by Liam's older brother Noel Gallager . Oasis have sold over 60 million records worldwide, have had eight UK number-one singles and have collected 15 NME Awards. This picture has been bled off the page and all of the band members are staring directly at the reader. This is a technique used to capture the readers attention.

The NME logo is placed on the top left of the page, it is in red with a white out line, which stands out against the black background. It has no sub headings or any main sells on the page giving it a sleek and stylish appearance. It shows the Date of the magazine, the price (£2.20) and the bar code all on the front cover. The magazine is bought out every week on a Wednesday and is aimed at a 24 year old male, who is working full time and spends on average £667 on audio equipment. (information sourced from ICP media)
