The front cover of the NME magazine that I’m analysing does a lot to draw customers to the magazine. The most obvious thing is the bright colours used as these will draw a customers attention to the magazine instead of the other ones as their will be so many on the racks. The colours red, yellow and white are really the only colours used this is so the customers straight away know which magazine is NME. This is also done by all the writing also being in the same font by using similar colours and fonts it creates the house style so all NME magazines will look similar so customers will know its an NME magazine straight away. The writing is all in short sentences and bold so its easy for the customers to know straight away what’s inside the magazine they are helped by the magazine using a lot of banners so the writing stands out. This particular magazine uses teacher to pupil mode of address as it is telling you what realises you should only be interested in.
The main picture used of the two men from the band Kasabian has used anchorage with the line “WE’VE BEEN ON A PSYCHEDELIC TRIP” so when the customer looks at that line and the picture it makes them have a know why they are giving a certain look. The main picture also shows them as being quite fashionable creating a lot of readers idealself or ideal partner or a lot of people. In most of the pictures the people are using direct gaze to draw the customers in and give them a feeling that they are looking at them.
The magazine has also used a lot of words to draw the readers to the magazine as its uses words such as exclusive to get customers attention as it is saying that this is going to be the only magazine with their interviews in and has it has a lot of the common favourite bands of the readers of the magazine it will get a lot of customers to buy it. They have also used the word plus to show that as well as all that stuff we’ve managed to get in this as well this shows that the magazine is full of information.
