3. The title of the magazine NME’s colour scheme links to the main featured artist. By using the same colour this highlights a more eye-catching effect towards the magazine. The featured main artist’s name is always presented in a bigger font than the rest. This is to catch the readers eye at first glace to someone well known. Moreover, at the top of the magazine it consists of bold writing advertising free posters. By giving out things for ‘FREE’ it attracts audience attention as it is something worth the offer. In this case, posters. On the other hand, at the bottom of the magazine you have other featured artists. These help interest the consumers as these are not only mainstream artists but indie/alternative artists that NME buyers would be interested in.
4. The model, or featured artist should always wear clothing that is suitable and appropriate for the theme of the magazines issue. In this case, the singer: Mark Ronson elicits simple clothes wear that consists of a jeans jacket and a t-shirt. Although the colors may not be the same it is evident that these colors do not clash; they fit well together. This compliments the model therefore models are more eagerly interested to consume this product. Also there are side kickers within this magazine. The artist or bands name would be featured in bold and their story that is not bold. This creates an instant reaction from consumers to immediately spot who is on the magazine. In doing this, consumers are more interested at who’s in it; then hearing what it is about them. Also, the bar code of the magazine is tilted sideways within the magazine creating this ‘rebel’ look to the consumers as it does not follow tradition in placing it portrait; but instead to the side. This helps the magazine come across as mainstream and interesting.
