1. Task 2D- NME
In the Front Cover, Contents page and Double page spread of NME there are
elements of all three that strongly link them together. Branding is very important
within a magazine as it makes the issue recognisable as a brand.
1) The large red masthead is placed on both the Front Cover and Contents page
branding the institution.
2) The house style ( colour scheme ) is the same throughout the three pages; red,
white and black. This again brands NME in the magazine industry.
3) The graffiti background features on both the Front cover and the double page
spread, creating a link between the mise-en-scene and the artist.
4) The typography of the text is similar throughout the issue, especially with the
main head lines and cover lines.
5) There is celebrity endorsement throughout the magazine which will entice the
audience to purchase the magazine
6) The rustic, funky style represents the rock, alternative and Indie genre- enticing
their specific target audience.
