Conventions of a Music Magazine-

Recognisable Masthead- ‘NME’ is mainly hidden by the main image which shows that it is not as important.

The picture is layered over the picture, it has more importance and looks better when on top.

Colour- The main colours on this page are black white and red.
The connotations of the colour black are ‘mystery’

Main Image-Direct mode of address to directly communicate with the audience, the layout of this is that is in the central, the image is the first thing that the customer notices so it has to be noticeable.

Main Coverline. Is in the centre of the main image to make it more noticeable, and it gives a clue as to what is inside the magazine.

Coverlines- Are on the left side of the page of the page and what the coverlines say, attract attention to the audience. They have a play on words of ‘The Killers sink their teeth in’ this makes it seem more hard hitting and edgy and abit humorous. They have quotations from the artists in one colour and the sentence relating to the article in a different colour this is to distinguish between the two.
