NME Contents Page Analysis

By the text and images of this magazine you can tell it’s a music magazine and the targeted audience would be for 17-26 year olds there’s a lot going on in this contents page which normally attracts younger people because its more fun seems lively and is packed with loads of things inside to offer,
Most of the text is little and in black which don’t really stand out but the colours behind the text catches people’s eyes and then there are some big writing in different colours and I think that’s used to draw people in because that’s the first thing you notice.

There are a few pictures other then the main image of Ricky from the Kaiser Chiefs and even though he’s image is the main image it still isn’t big and that’s again because they have a lot to offer and it gives you the impression that there a lot to offer that is equally as good or major, the little pictures on the right hand side are there to again attract people because when looking at a contents page not a lot of people would stand there and read the whole thing of what’s inside they see what stands out more and if they want to read about that are but the magazine about that and that’s what NME are doing there attracting people by making things they think will attract a lot of people stand out.

The colours on this contents page are different and I don’t think you would see a lot of contents pages like this also its hard to make it match with the front cover but in the bottom corner there’s an offer about buying NME magazine for just 20p an issue and they have 5 different covers and buy them pictures the NME magazine are different and have loads of colours which I think is good because they stand out from the rest who have natural plain colours.


There is also a promotional feature on the content page which I just wrote about buying NME magazine’s 20p an issue for 2 months this would attract normal buyers of NME who buy the magazine just because they like NME and because they like all the issues they do but also it would attract people who may not have every read NME and bought this issue and really liked it and its such a good offer which will make people appreciate NME and this gains more buyers who will continue buyer the magazine even for the offers.



The overall style off the magazine to me is original, fun, exciting, and colourful and basically mainly about music you get the idea that people who work at NME are all lovers of music and people like that who love music all types would also buy the magazine.
