Analysis - of NME front cover - My chemical romance.


I like the idea of changing the date in the corner to a totally different font to the rest of the magazine, it is suitable for this genre and give a quirky twist, also concentrating on the little details of the magazine.
I like the quote from the main person in the picture , and would like to incorporate it in my magazine, not only does it interest the reader into the interview/article, but also gives a story to the image.

I also like the use of the box on the left , its minimal but offers a more stylish indie way to present free poster whereas on a pop magazine for exapample the poster sticker/section may be more bright and fluorescent to entice the reader. Also the posters have a theme - 'mick rock', and the posters on this magazine seem less cheesy and more stylish opposed to say a pop magazine.And the posters also link to the main story/images genre of music.
The text used with the main image says ' Gerard sees red' - this links the image (the man with red hair) and the the use of the word 'red' in the text , I may consider using this for my own magazine as it links the image and text.

Double page spread -(2) NME - Mark Ronson

Double page spread NME - Mark Ronson  I like how the title spreads across two pages and may consider to do this for my own magazine page.I feel like it is a good way to bring all the conventions of the page together and links them e.g the image, title, and text. It also is good as it makes the reader look at both pages therefore catching their eye, due to them having to read the title from one side of the page to the other. I would like to pick out a piece of the interview and put the letters in bold and a bigger size, something of interest or a statement. I like how the image takes up a whole page and has props that are interesting and relate to the title.E,g - hammer- relates to the revenge.

Contents page -(1) just magazine

Contents page- Just a magazine (unknown)   I like the use of imagery and horizontal across two pages.With the images above the titles od each section in the magazine. Im not entirely sure but the images may be relating to one of the titles from each column. I like this idea and it gives a simplistic, yet arty feel to the page. I like how the contents gows across teo pages as it dosent feel as squashed, and comes across artistic in this way.Also it is different to standard layout making it alternative which could relate to the music genre I am focusinf on (Indie).I may use this in my own magazine

Front Cover (3) NME - Joe strummer

Image
Front cover  This magazine is mainly dedicated to Joe Strummer .It refers to him as a 'punk icon'. Thus enticing punk lovers and the rest of society to be interested in this magazine especially.  I like the use of the black and white main image of Joe Strummer (when he was young).It gives a nostalgic feel to the magazine, and comes across very stylish and classic. I like the way NME really personalise the front cover to the image and ties it in with the rest of the theme,titles,etc.  Yet again they have used a bold statement for a quote of Jo Strummer:' Don't write slogans write truths'- this ties in with Joe Strummer being highly respected in the music industry and seen as a classic and wise that he is able to make these bold, wise statements. The statement adds in with the style of this magazine, as being bold classic and at times nostalgic. I like however how the nostalgic side of this image is mixed with the bold and colourful font of
