what gender would read

this magazine?

male

female

From this question I have been able to find out

the NME is mainly focused at 26-35 year olds.
I think they chose this because the magazines
stories focus a lot on the informing about the
music industry. This age group would be able
to keep up with the current news.

magazine?
I can clearly see in this question that the most
popular audience would be people of the
lower class, however it can still cover all the
other audiences as well. This is because NME
is all about music which can be popular in all
statuses.

is relevant to the target
audience?

yes

no

which aspect on the front

cover is the most eye
catching?

Image

Title

Plug

Light

The image is the most popular part of the

front cover and so it would need to be focused
on the most for each issue. Image is the most
important because it shows the audience
what that issue would be like and so drawing
in the target audience.

Main Story

What Colours are used most

in the NME front page?

Dark

Here you can clearly see that the vocabulary

within the magazine is extremely important.
This is because you need to make sure that it
is all in the style of the target audience.

Primary

Any

It seems that all colours are very popular

except bright colours. I think this because
NME focuses on rock and indie music which is
all about the dark or thick colours.

What type of stories would be

good for this magazine
Its very clear to see that the magazine would
need to focus heavily on music stories as that
would attract the audience the most, because
its a music magazine.

Celebrity Gossip

Music

Politcal

Niche

what fonts would be used in

the magazine?
Sharp fonts are very popular within rock and
indie magazines because it goes along the
same font bands would use for their name.

Bubble

Sharp

Italic

Any

Does the use of a large main

image help attract the
audience?

Yes

No

Having a large main image on the front cover

draws in the audience instantly, this is
because if the audience see a musician they
like they theyll want to read about it.

What does the use of colour say about the target audience?

Young Target audience

Emo or hipster
They are easily lead to things because it looks
pretty
Their cool
Quite masculine
Teenagers
They dont know who they are
Creativity
Theyre scene kids
Older, possibly heavy rock music

Here I can see that a lot of the audience who

would read it are people young teenagers and
dont care about a lot, theyre the cool kids in
school and know all about the popular bands
or upcoming.
