Analysing Florence Magazine- front cover

The new NME logo has stuck to the original front however the colours of the logo vary and white outline has been removed.The slogan has been placed under the NME logo. The slogan is telling the audience of the magazine what the initials NME stand for. On the cover image NME have used a close up shot for this issue of Florence. This close up shot of her will draw the reader in because it will draw in the reader and it will feel more personal. This image of Florence fits in nicely with the colour schemes. Her big red locks contrasts with the bold white writing and it helps it stand out. In the main cover line NME shows the reader the main story in line the magazine and often relates to the cover star. This is a feature that NME used in my first cover analysis.The black font is the only black text that is used therefore it stands out the most.

The barcode is to the right side of the magazine in the bottom corner. Its their so its squeezed into the corner and out of the way of the more important information. Small and barley noticeable so the reader/buyer of magazine wont be focused on the price they will be focused on the main artist and cover stories. The cover line acts as an advertisement to the reader bu telling them about the many other good features that are inside the magazine, this will help encourage the reader to buy the magazine. The bold white text contrasts with Florence's bright red hair so it can be read clearly by the audiences of the magazine. The other cover line in the top right tells the reader that they are looking at a special and limited edition of NME. It also tells the reader that the magazine has changed which will help make the reader want to buy it because they will want to see what has changed about this magazine.

NME informs the reader of how much the magazine will cost to buy and the magazine tells the audience the exact issue number. The issue number on the mag will end up been more helpful for the regular readers of NME and the price will be more helpful and relevant to new readers of NME or those how don't or haven't read it.
