• Comparing my magazine type, with other magazines, i think it is the
most similar to NME, as the music types are similar and the target
audience is, except that NME is probably targeting more males,
where my magazine i've chosen to do is targeting the more female
side of the genre of the music.

with the colours used, which have been carefully selected so the reader
spots out what the editor wants them to.
