Cover research 1

The image on this front cover from 'NME' magazine shows that 'THE GOSSIP' are the main headline. Also it gives you some of the lyrics of the song "standing in the way of control". The magazine shows a close up of a women with a man either side of her. Also one of the men take over the 'NME' title. There are also a lot more variety of pictures on this front cover, Noel Gallaghers head sowing that there is a story in there about him and also Muse. They use a big close up of the band to catch the readers eye. It tells you what the story is about underneath there picture.

The colours that they use are red, white and black this is good as all the colours show up well on eachother. As they are quite dark colours you wouldnt be able to see them quite clear in the dark, I think it needs to be more bright and eye catching colours so that people will see it and want to buy it rather than havin dull colours, this makes the magazine look boring.

'NME' magazine set out there front cover so that 'THE GOSSIP' is the main headline of there magazine, there are also other pictures, writing and stories around the outside of the main picture this is showing some other things that will be in the magazine.
