Masthead – The main image is overlapping the masthead, which draws more attention towards the headlining artists rather than the name of the magazine. However the three letters, ‘NME’ are easy for customers to remember if they are intending to purchase this magazine more than once. It is also in a bold, red font and is outlined twice: the first time in white and then once more in black. This enables it to still stand out even though it is not the main focus of the cover page.Splash – Promoting something using a graphic.

Masthead – The Masthead consisting of the 2 letters, ‘A P’, is a lot more noticeable than having the entire 2 words: ‘Alternative Press’. Having the entire 2 words would make the title appear longer and would be less memorable to the intended readers. Also, using ‘A P’ allows the magazine to be more recognisable since it is short and catchy. They used ‘A P’ in red to draw attention to the title of the magazine and make it stand out against the rest of the text.
