NME Magazine
From Analysing NME I Found Out That It Focuses Its Front Cover On Its Feature Story. The Use Of Only Having One Picture Makes It Easy To Understand What The Main Story Is About And The Writing Is Behind The Picture Almost As It Is Saying That The Picture Is More Important Than The Magazine. This Is A Feature That I Will Use In My Magazine.

NME Also Uses The Same Colour, Font And Position For Its Mast Head. This Is Important Because It Makes The Magazine Easily Recognisable And Makes It Appear More Professional, It Is Also Very Colour Coordinated Which Makes It Look Very Good
For My Contents Analysis I Analysed Two Magazines.For The First Magazine I Analysed A Top Of The Pops Magazine. The Reason I Decided To Analyse This Magazine Is Because I Did Not Know What Genre Of Music I Wanted My Magazine To Be Aimed At, At This Point So I Wanted To Keep My Options Open. The Second Magazine I Analysed Was NME. I Chose This Magazine Because If Features Rock Artists Such As Kings Of Leon Which Is The Genre Of Music I Would Like My Magazine To Be About.


Inside The NME Magazine The Color Scheme Was Very Similar To The Front Page Which Makes It Look More Professional And Makes It Look Better As A Magazine As Everything Goes. There Is A Large Picture Of A Band Which Gets The Eye Of People, And Has There Up Coming Events Below The Image, So They Catch The Eye Of People With The Picture So They Would Take A Closer Look And Then They See The Up Coming Events Which Hopefully Boost Sales Of Tickets.

Top Of The Pops

From Analysing Top Of The Pop's Magazine I Found Out That It Try's Very Strongly To Attract Its Target Audience Which Is Young Girls. It Dose This By Using Girls Colors Such As Pink And Light Blue. It Also Has Only Male's On The Cover For The Gils To See Which Will Persuade Them To Buy The Magazine. This Is To Make The Magazine Look More Grown Up And Important, Whilst At The Same Time Raises Questions About What Is Going Into Our Children's Magazines? Is It Right To Be Submitting Our Kids To Such Grown Up Themes? Some Adults Will Definitely Disagree In My Opinion The Fact That It Is Produced By Such A High Powered And Trustworthy Company Which Is The BBC We Feel It Is Safe For Our Children To Read It, But How Sure Can We Be?
