Research and Planning: Textual Analysis of a Magazine Front Cover

      
The magazine called NME focuses on a genre, which is music.  The central image is large and fills the whole page. There is no other images on the cover which means that this is a big and important. The main colours used for the writing are red and white which helps make the magazine stand out and very eye catching. The background is black which helps the image and the text stand out. It also help show that the image is important. At the bottom of the cover there are cover lines, which shows that there are more topics inside other than the main topic to get readers interested, which is printed small. The masthead includes a quote from a celebrity in an interview to draw more readers in to find out more. The front cover also includes different font styles to make it more eye catching.  The colours for the masthead are red and white and the font is large and bold which makes it stand out. It has a barcode in the bottom right hand corner. It also has a price, which targets people who earn enough money as it is £2.40.
