Anaylisis of NME magazine

Here is the front cover of NME magazine it agrees with the conventions of a modern music magazine as the masthead is obscured by the main photograph the title of the main feature is bold and overlapping the front covers main photograph. The front cover seems very edgy and underground a bit like my magazine " Break Out !". The front cover is very busy and competing for space are plugs and pulls all are surrounding the splash headline " Arctic Monkey's".

Here is the same magazines contents page, the different areas of the magazine are spilt up using boxes and sub headings the areas are news, features, reviews, live, gig guide and radar. Most of the conventions are met although usually there is no: Radar section.

This is the image from the double page spread from the same NME magazine i really like the photograph/image and i may use some of the ideas of this shot in my double page spread.
