Front Cover Anaylsis

NME Magazine Front Cover
NME are published weekly by the IPC Media, the magazine is aimed at mainly males between the ages 16-24. It is UK-based, and is the biggest-selling weekly music magazine in the world. The magazine shows music news from around the world and contains a concert guide.
This is the front cover to NME Magazine, with Rihanna as the main image. Rihanna is looking straight at the camera which makes her interact with the audience, the picture is mid-range showing her stomach upwards.  The word Rihanna is Anchorage Text, this is the text which relates to the main image and tells the audience what the main image is about.
At the top of the magazine is show '4 of 10 special edition covers', this grabs the readers attention and will draw them in to buy one of the special edition magazines. The font is bold so the audience can read and understand the writing, the theme also fits in with the font. Also the Mast head, main heading and sub headings are in a bold pink colour compared to the rest of the magazine to stand out more, unlike the other writing with is black or white. The colour scheme goes well together because all the colours stand out without making them clash, and the colours also fit in with the main artist on the front cover. As well as every other magazine this magazine has the bar code (bottom right) and price (top left) on the front of the magazine, so the readers can find out the price easily. This magazine front cover is simple, it doesnt contain a puff, skyline, so it focus' on the Mast Head, Main Image and Sub headings. The magazines Sell Lines are on the left hand side saying what is contained in the magazine.
