The magazine cover draws the reader's eye to the bold red title in the center and the main image below it. The NME logo is clearly visible in its usual corner spot without other images overlapping it. Additional text beneath the logo is partially obscured to signal it is a recognizable magazine. Smaller text at the bottom previews the magazine's contents. The limited color palette and layout keeps the cover appealingly clean.

1. The reader’s
eye is
immediately
drawn to the
title in the
centre of the
page. The title is
in bold red
lettering to do
this.
The title is placed over the main
image which shows the reader
that the image is the main
theme of this magazine.
The NME logo is in the corner of the page
where it usually is. There is no image placed
partly over it which sometimes happens with
well know magazines.
The text under
the NME logo,
(which says
“new musical
express)is partly
covered over
which shows
this is a well
know magazine
and its readers
don’t need to
read the whole
thing.
The copy near
the bottom of
the page lets
the reader
know what they
can expect
inside the
magazine.
The magazine
front cover
sticks to having
three main
coloursred,
white, yellow
and the black
from the
images. This
makes the cover
more appealing
to the reader
because the
page does not
look cluttered.The front cover only having three main
colours helps draw the reader’s eye to
the important things on the page like
the title, main image and the NME
logo.
