This is the front cover of the popular music magazine NME.

I chose to research the different techniques used in this weekly music magazine such as typography, colour scheme and the layout. NME has a target audience of older teenagers and young adults which is what i'm aiming for in my magazine. As i'm doing a feature on a boy band, I decided to focus on magazine covers that had bands on instead of solo artists to give me some inspiration. The main image is large compared to the other images on the cover, this is to draw attention to the band and to show the target audience what and who the article is about. We can tell it's an indie mgazine because of the use of dark, bold colours and by the models on the front with their rugged looks.
