2. The magazine features a black and
white background. This allows you
to use black, white, red and yellow
text to contrast strongly against it.
The masthead is NME’s classic
colour scheme, red and
white, which stands out strongly
against the off-white background.
The buzzword also stands out, using
a striking black and yellow colour
scheme.
The main image features Alex
Turner (Arctic Monkey’s) and Miles
Kane. It pictures them back-to-
back, giving the impression of a
collaboration, which is supported
by the main cover line. They both
have dark hair and are dressed in
black, which illuminates them from
the white background.
The masthead used is the iconic
‘NME’ logo. It’s featured in block
capitals, in red with a black and
white border. The colour
combination makes it attract the
eye and enhances the amount of
people will notice the magazine
and its producer.
3. The magazine features a vibrant
colour scheme. It consists of a
green and black background, with
yellow detailing, with the iconic
black and white ‘KERRANG’
masthead. All the font used is in
block capitals and is in a contrasting
colour. This ensures maximum
visibility to its audience.
The image features Matt
Bellamy, lead singer and guitarist
from Muse. He is an iconic and
popular figure, especially within
Kerrang’s own target audience. He
is pictured in an intense and
striking pose, which provokes
energy towards the reader.

4. The main image used of prog-rock
band ‘Pink Floyd’. They fit the bill
for Rolling Stone’s target audience
of classic rock fans. They are
featured in black and white on a
background of flames. This gives a
sense of power to the image. But
also illuminates it from the page to
ensure it catches the readers eye.
The Masthead is featured in the
iconic ‘Rolling Stone’ font, and in
their signature colour red. The rest
of the text is also in red, apart
from the bit of white text that is
featured on top of the black part of
the image. Again, this contrast
ensures that it will catch the
audiences eye.
The cover line covers the
destruction of the legendary band
Pink Floyd. The documentation of
such thing appeals greatly to the
classic rock scene. It also features
‘In the studio with The White
Stripes’. Such stories are going to
ensure maximum exposure for the
magazine that it is sure to sell
copies.
5. The main image used is that of an
almost life size portrait of Oasis
legend, Noel Gallagher. He is
pictured central of the page, and is
also presented in black and white.
This gives the image an aura of
power. He is also featured looking
‘scruffy’, and ‘rugged’ as opposed
to a sparkling photo-shopped
image.
The colours used in the
image, being in black and white, a
very bland. But due to this, the
iconic red masthead stands out
immensely. This quickly alerts the
reader exactly what magazine it is.
The other text used is black, white
and silver. It has been position
carefully so that the text stands
out in front the image.
The main cover line features the
story of the comeback of Oasis.
The story of arguably Britain’s
biggest band in ‘Britains Biggest
Magazine’ is guaranteed to excite
its target audience.
6. The contents page features the
Mojo logo, as if it was on the front
cover. This again, alerts the reader
of exactly what magazine they
were reading. It’s featured in
white, which helps it stand out
from its dark background.
The main image, and only image
features Trent Reznor, an iconic
figure to that of regular Mojo
readers. He is featured against a
dark wooden door. And also
wearing a black leather and other
dark clothing. This exemplifies the
persona of the person used.
The font is featured in red and
white, which help it jump out the
page immensely. This ensures
maximum visibility, but also
improved ease of navigation. And
also its laid out simply with the
page number locations placed
conveniently next to the stories
they represent.
