The front page of NME is very simple yet effective. The way the simple colours of red, pink, white and black are very striking colours and therefore do not need the acomplishment any other colours. I also like the way that the image of Hayley Williams is infront of the tittle/logo and the rest of (Paramore) the band is behind it. It gives the effect that she is the more important one and therefore has to infront of everything else. I think that the way her lipstick is the same colour of the tittle "PARAMORE" shows a link between the two, allowing the reader to know what the tittle is linked to.
I dislike the fact that the writing "professor Jack White" is above the NME, this makes it appear that this story or article is more important that the name of the magazine. I feel that the magazine name should be the most important thing and therefore be at the top of the magazine.
The contents of NME is very newspaper like and is put into colums. The way it is split up into news, radar, reviews, live and features gives it a very formal style and is easy to find out what you want to find. I also feel that the way the colour scheme of the name of the magazine is repeated onto the rest of the contents keeps it very simple but very effective. However the red writing on the left I feel is very hard to read and could get lost in the image all together. I like the way the NME THIS WEEK is very bold and the font used is very formal. The fact that there is only one picture doesnt appeal to me and I feel there could of been more to grab the readers attention. on the other hand it doesnt acompliment the formal style of the magazine.
