NME Front cover analysis

The demographic is aimed at anti - authority figures and this is due to the fact that there is the image of an injection which is a reference to drug use by the artist being featured. It gives the artist a rebellious and care free reputation. The age group being targeted is mainly 14 - 19 year olds, which is due to the fact that there are no swear words and the fact that the injection is not real as the artist being featured is a cartoon, which would not appeal to a higher audience.

The colours are mainly red and black, which connotate the feeling of rebelliousness and an angry attitude to society. The image of the artists give this impression of a care free lifestyle due to their facial expressions and body language which adds to the impression and appeal towards the reader.

The Masthead is largly situated at the top of the front page in a bright colour of red which stands out. There are also feature titles above the logo of the front cover, which are of other artists that are featured i the magazine. They are in a white colour because of their small font size, the colour white makes them stand out and be recognised by the reader.
