Research into Similar Products: NME Front Cover Analysis

I also looked at NME magazine as inspiration for my own magazine. I like the cover of the magazine, which features Arctic Monkeys, as the layout appeals to me greatly. I like the way that all four band members are split into four squares, all with their own photo, names and quote. I like this because it lets people know that all four members have given their opinions on things and have been asked questions. I love the colour scheme on the magazine as it is consistent and fits well. I like how NME is big, bold and red at the top, which stands out, is clear and eye-catching. I think I would like to use colours like this because they are clear, they aren't too bright (but they are noticeable) and they make the magazine look very professional. I also like how other bands are featured neatly across the bottom, so that everyone knows that this magazine features other bands rather than it just being all Arctic Monkeys.
