2. NMEs covers really take my interest, I feel they always have an interesting and un-original image and also theme to them. I like how they make use of different colours and themes on each cover which help keep the readers interest and keep it fresh. It is aimed for young adults/teenagers again, like Kerrang! Magazine. But the information in them is a bit more mainstream. The circulation figures for NME are 40,713 . NME doesn’t only have a magazine again like Kerrang! They have a website, a club, TV, CD and the annual ShockWaves NME Awards . Reader Profile
3. I like how on this magazine, they use 3 or 4 colours (black, white, red and beige) I feel it is really effective with the main image being in black and white with coloured writing. This magazine is mainly aimed at teenagers/young adults. Mainly teenagers buy this magazine, as it includes information about modern bands and information about upcoming gigs too. The circulation figures for Kerrang! Magazine are 43,253. Kerrang! Is a bit like a small brand company as they have built a radio station, TV channel and also a website around the magazine. Audience Profile Individually minded, independent of thought and musically experienced, an audience defined by attitude, passion and loyalty.
4. Metal Hammer’s cover got me very interested. I like how they used the effect of broken glass around the main image but also how they had merged images of people’s faces in It too. It’s set in poster style and it seems from the expression on the main image’s person’s face and the overall image, they have aimed for a marvel/superhero look. It is aimed for rockers and metalers aged around late teenagers onwards. The circulation figures are 46,004 . Sadly, I am un-able to find a reader profile for this magazine.
5. I like this cover for the magazine Rock Sound. It has a lot of information just on the cover and a really good use of bold colours. The main image looks as if it has been edited on photoshop, as it has a flattened looks, almost like they are cardboard cut-outs. This magazine is aimed for anybody interested in music, and also people in their teens once again. This includes a lot about the latest/hottest bands and grabs then interest of people of most music genres. The circulation figures for this magazine are 20,009. Again I cannot find a reader profile on the editors website. But I found they also have Rock Sound TV, as well as a website for the magazine.
