From my analysis of this NME magazine front cover the first thing my eyes are drawn to is the magazine name ‘NME’. The masthead uses the colour white to compliment the black background and to make it stand out and get the attention of the buyers. From the ‘free new music’ in the left corner, the words ‘free’ and ‘new’ will make the readers buzz and be more interested as everyone likes free things; the words are in red also to keep in with the colour scheme of the magazine and make the statement stand out. The T in the park logo is the most colour on the magazine, this has been done to stand out and attract a wider audience, people who have attended or are attending the festival. The main pictures nearly takes up the whole of the front cover. This is effective as Eminem is known world wide and is a popular artist around the world, this will attract more readers who are fans of his music. The title Eminem is very eye catching as it uses the distinctive colours of red and white, keeping in with the colour scheme and making a stand against the black background. From this analysis some features I will use are having my title bold and a different colour from the back ground of the magazine, I will do this so my audience’s eyes go straight to the title as it’s one of the most important features. I also want my main front cover image to take over nearly the whole front cover  like this NME front cover, to attract my readers and follow the prestige of a typical rock magazine.
