NME is the magazine that is closest to the type of magazine i want to achieve! It is simple and very effect, with bright colours that stand out and are often contrasting with clear cover-lines and interesting ways of doing them, like using shapes and banners to make them stand out more! All the covers are easy to read and not to busy with constant features that make it easily recognizable. It also has clever selling points-the fact that the title is in the left third so it can see seen easily and quickly when the magazine is being stacked and sold! The unimportant features that take away from the main body of the magazine are small and out the way, the barcode and price for example. The target of this magazine is very similar to my age range teens to mid 20's, this makes it a useful magazine to refer back to. This cover in particular is like mine as i am having a girl on the front of my cover which is unusual in the music unless the music magazine is more of a 'lads mag' which is not the look i am going for! I like how the female model is looking straight out, this helps entice the reader in, another effect that i would like to have on my cover! The use of pink on the cover makes it look more girly-which i dont really like as i want my magazine to look professional and have the same readership as this magazine and that is hard to when there is a very feminine colour on the front if the magazine doesnt already have a reputation!
