Page Layout
On this editorial and
contents page, there are low angle shots, showing a man and his friend on a bicycle,
looking down. This type of shot asserts dominance – but by the way they are
dressed, or lack thereof, they look slightly intimidating; even if that wasn’t
the intention. On the cover, there was a four colours used – yellow, black,
orange and hints of white.
On the contents page, six
colours are used – as well as the digital photography used on the page, colour
has also been incorporated into the “sections” part of the magazine (Agenda,
Radar and Live). In the picture, the colours used are yellow, navy, grey,
green, white and black. All the colours attract the reader and the audience
because we live in a world of colour – and if the picture is a good quality,
it’s almost real.
Language
The language used by the
editor is very formal, as if he was writing a letter to the audience – telling
us what inspires him.
He talks about a young
refugee in his editorial and explains how it “reduced him to tears”. He also
talks about the coverstar, M.I.A.
The editorial is structured
in columns, and is tightly wrapped around the editors’ headshot.
This is effective because
some lines are shorter than others.
Genre
NME is a music, fashion and
film magazine. It is also an advertising program. New and coming artists like M.I.A. are
showcased in magazines like this to get exposure and views.
