FONTS

The use of a sans serif font connotes simplicity and has
informal elements working alongside the bright, masculine
colour scheme to make the cover overall look appealing
and stand out. The use of different colour fonts on
different colour backgrounds makes the font stand out on
the page and therefore becomes more visible to the
audience.

The font style used in NME is also a plain sans
serif font which has informal and simplistic
connotations. The use of colour makes the whole
text stand out against its background. Also, the
use of a sans serif font style is quite a masculine
feature appealing to NME’s primary male
audience.
IMAGES

The use of a low angle mid-shot along with the
artists having cross arms adds to a stern and
masculine overall representation. The way they
are dressed fits the stereotypical conventions of
a male indie artist. Overall, the images in my
magazine represent and appeal to the male
gender, the middle class and young people.
These are the key characteristics of my primary
audience and the use of mise en scene in my
images helps appeal to them.

NME also use a mid shot. The mise-en-scene of
Jake Bugg displayed in the image represents the
stereotypical conventions of the indie genre. The
age, social class and gender of Jake Bugg is similar
to that of the demographic of the indie genre
resulting in an appealing image.
The use of a serif font style, shows professionalism and adds an element of class
and sophistication to the magazine. The italic font represents the speech and the
use of a pull quote is appealing and will draw the audience towards the feature.
The content of the pull quote represents reform and this is also quite indie
appealing.
