The style of the NME magazine you can instantly tell that this is a gothic or indie magazine with the dull colours such as black and grey you then have the blue to lighten the magazine up a lot more and become more visual. The layout of the magazine is quiet ordered with the name and logo top left then slogans and captions underneath that with the main artist and main feature in the magazine with more little captions down the right side and final the barcode bottom right. The design in obviously to make Noel Gallger stand some people see him so he is centre of attention with the logo in bight bold black font to make it visible what magazine you are buying along with the quotations in light blue which is eye catching and you want to find out what has been said that why there in a light blue with a dark black shadow behind the font.
The picture is the artist Noel Gallger who is a big artist and well recognized from song writing and backing singer in Oasis which was a massive band. So by putting him on the front of NME magazine make good promotion also he is the main feature in this magazine article he will be the main story on what he has to say about what he is talking about. In the picture he is wearing a leather jacket which is black and what looks like a grey shirt underneath the leather jacket and final you can see the top half of his grey jeans these are typical indie clothes leather jackets indicates rock and shirts and jeans which are worm casually indicate indie style. I don’t think from what I can see of the picture of Noel Gallger is that he is wearing any makeup but if there was something it would most probably be pale foundation to suit his skin and make him look perfect to make him stand out and look attractive. His hair looks very indie a bit messy look to show he still is rock and roll maybe just to make the reader think. The shot of him is a medium shot you can see over half his body the way he is standing which is turned slightly to the left makes him look narrower I think they have done this to be able to fit everything they need so it is tightly spaced. The way this links into represent the target audience is by showing Noel Gallger in this indie look which the magazine is all about and that links in well with the readers.
The colours which are sued on the front cover of this magazine are very basic plain colours you have the blacks and the light greys which link in well with the rock indie look which NME as a magazine are all about then you have that bright bit of colour the blue which lightens the front cover up a lot so that it is more recognized to the target audience. The main bits that you want to read about are in blue to stand out on the white background along with the black shadow which all fits into the indie them of dark dull colours.
The logo NME which is in big bold font to stand out and be recognized in black as well is shown like this to be eye catching and noticeable for the target market to remember easily.
On the right hand side of the front cover you will see captions in which gives you either an artist of something in the magazine which you can find along with that it has small bit of detail below it so gives you a little taster of what is inside the magazine and hopefully draws your attention and makes you want to read more. They do this by using either formal language to persuade you to read on or giving you short information that’s detailed and interesting to make you want to read more.
