First Front Cover Analysis

The front cover of the magazine has many puffs as well as the main headline/banners/strap line which all surround the headline photo in a overlay style other than the masthead which underlays the photo. The house style/theme colours are used in the headline photo of Lily Allen as well as all the puffs etc. Her clothes (shirt) and her hair colour use the red/black/white which NME has styled themselves with. The various fonts on the front cover make all the puffs etc stand out really well against each other. The white background gives the front cover a clear tone and the occasional use of white font brings this out further. The quote next to Lily Allen gives an insight to the content of the headline story about her - “I can't keep on living like this, it's doing my head in”. The banners also give an insight to the content of the magazine so the readers know what to expect.
