Research!! - Magazine (NME)

Research for a Dance magazine! (NME)
The is a music magazine called NME and this is a magazine based on all the latest groups and songs that are around. The also provide the latest news on artists and songs and is basically solely music in general based. I chose to analyse this music magazine cover because it amplifies the group shown on the main cover's image and appeal well and the positioning of the members of the group is done well which amplyfies the groups over all appeal well. This done by placeing the single female in the group at the front of the cover in an extravogent pose which would appeal the male part of the audience and the four males in the background however, still maintaining their appeal due to their poses and this appealing to the female part of the audience there based on the arrangements of the members of the group the appeal is done well. There isn't however a specific colour scheme to this magazine cover that is immediately visibe but the colour used does look appealing and does grab the readers attention especially the logo "NME" and the name "PARAMORE" which is wriiten in pink and stands out from the dull colours on the page for example: the black that the band are weraring.  I feel as though this magazine cover in particular is aimed at a much wider audience including males and females aged between 18 - 30 this is because the characters are all very young and appealing and this would attract the much younger audience. The appeal to the older audience would be the retro look that the band personnify.

The header used on this magazine looks very appealing and does stand out on the page whilst at the same time looking appealing and not clashing with any colours that are around it. The colour used on the header makes the header look very appealing and easily visible which would attract audiences. The image used on this magazine cover is of a band called paramore and this image suits the magzine cover because it is very simply and yet attractive due to the positioning of the band members on the cover as mentioned before.

The mode off address on this magazine cover is DIRECT mode off address and this is because all the band members are looking directly into the camera and this dennotes there personna as well as style as based on the image and their stance alone a lot can be drawn from it. This cover has given me quite a few ideas as how to make my imagazine cover.
