NME cover analysis

This is a magazine cover is from one of the NME magazines and is a special edition cover. Firstly the masthead is white which is different to its usual colour red, but it is the same size, font and in the same position. NME have used white to stylise the magazine as it as a special edition. NME has used two colours for their text white and blue also there have stuck to four different fonts as anymore may look scruffy also the fonts they have used aren’t old looking there are all modern. NME may have used blue for the main cover line to make it stand out from the rest of the white text also part of the main cover line is placed over “Florence’s” white t-shirt making the text stand out more as there is a contrast between the two, not only that it is the biggest font on the magazine cover. All of the white cover lines are placed over Florence’s red hair making sure her face is not covered up. This is effective as the text stands out well on the red hair also the cover lines include information about other artists which may be eye catching to some buyers, also there is a quote from Florence herself. The picture NME have used for the magazine cove is a close up of Florence. Her head is slightly titled to one side suggesting she is sophisticated. In these images of Florence she is making eye contact with the buyer, it almost drawing you in making you want to buy the magazine.
