Front and back page.

1. The front cover shows dizzy rascal
showing direct address while pulling
a funky pose to represent his wild
party character and music. His
enthusiastic look well represents the
character he portrays in his UK
garage type party music.
The shot type is a full body shot
however can be argued that’s it’s a
mid-shot as only half of his body
can be seen kind of because of him
being kneeled down.
The Main-Cover line displays his
name is huge letters in a bold
typography fashion which helps
match the wild enthusiasm of both
the character and his music. The
text is slanted which allows it to
looks funky and wild along with it
matching his kneeled down arms
wide stance.
MASTHEAD- The mast head is very bold and on the top
left on the magazine as this is the spot which is most
noticeable in shops. It is bold and red which matches
the covers linessss
Barcode – The barcode is in the bottom right on
the magazine as this avoids the hotspot and
instead in the terminal area. The customer is
not interested in this therefore the publisher
wants to keep in away.
Coverlines – The cover lines include the names
of other bands and artists to let the customer
know what and who is mentioned in the
magazine.
Coverline- The cover line is a direct quote from
dizzee rascal in which he describes in a short
sentence how his enthusiasm and wild music is
making people happy and enjoy themselves.
This makes the audience eager to find out more
of what he has said in his interview.
Puff- The puff is bright red featuring bold white
letters making it attractive and appealing to
the eye. This makes the audience more likely to
be interested in the magazines and want to
purchase it.
Strapline- The strapline isn’t very attractive hence
the reason it is always at the top however this
certain strapline allows the audience to know that it
is an autumn special which indicates that this
magazine may include more special features and
has more pages and exclusives
Colour scheme – The colour scheme on the
magazine is red, white and black as the
matches the logo and masthead of NME thus
creating a house style effect.
Layout/Mise en scene -

2. Genre – The genre of the magazine is
an array of music sub genres
including, hip-hop, rock and RnB.
Cover lines – The cover lines are in
white bold letters and are featured on
the right hand side of the page. The
cover lines also have a newspaper look
to them making them appear in a
slight vintage fashion.
Masthead – The masthead on
magazine is on large impact letters
with a white outline to match the rest
of the contents page. The masthead
as a paper overlay look to it to match
the rest of the contents page also
giving it a newspaper looks.
Shot type – The shot type featured is a
medium long shot and appears to be
quite old looking whether or not this
has had a filter placed on this.
Columns have been used along side
the main image on the left hand side.
In this column is an index telling the
reader where everything in magazine
is.
Target Audience – The target audience for
this magazine is those of a younger age as
the magazine usually features the younger
artists which would be more appealing to
a younger generation. Also the ethnicity
would be varied as NME could feature
many different genres.
Date/issue number – The date is issued on
the top
right of the magazine and is fairly big but
not enough to distract from the main
image. Also the issue number has not been
shown on the contents page as this is a
typical feature of the front cover.
Page numbers – Page
numbers have been
used but only in the
index part of the
contents page.
Mise en scene – Mise en scene has been thought
about Wiseley in the magazine in order to
structure the layout perfectly. For example in the
bottom right of the magazine is an advertisement
to subscribe to NME magazine which has
purposely been put there so when the reader gets
to the bottom of the contents page it will make
the contemplate to buy the magazine. Also cover
lines have been swept to the side in order to leave
space for the main image and make the
magazine looks neat and appealing. The index is
also swept to the left to be a appealing but also
makes it easier to navigate. Everything surrounds
the main image to focus on it. Making everything
look neat the way they have is a part of the NME
house style and also the use of the colour red to
match the masthead and represent the brand by
use of colours.
The main heading on this page is obviously
Contents as this is just the page telling the reader
what is featuring in the magazine.
Sub headings on the contents page are featured
underneath the cover lines to tell you a little more
about what the colour line is talking about for
example news then under would be news on
what celebrity and also the page next to it.
The main image is a medium long shot
which appears to look vintage therefore
the rest of the magazine also matches
this.
There is main article on the contents
page which talks about a special
feature of this magazine giving a tease
at it then telling the user to go to the
specific page.
The language used is somewhat formal however someone's can be seen
as informal when talking about gossip to do with celebrities.
Borders have been used around the image
in order to give it an old effect like an old
book for example thus matching the rest of
the magazine.
