Mast head- the mast head for this NME magazine is

very bold and in block capitals, suggesting the

magazine is bold and bright within itself. Its also the

signature brand so its readers would rely and have

trust in this. The colours of the Mast Head is white

making it bold and so it stands out which is good as

its audience will recognise it much easier.

Main image – the main image for this magazine is of

three artists, it’s a medium close up so you can see

their body posture and facial expressions all in one

capture. They are pulling a serious facial

expression, to tie in with the pull quote ‘There's no

plan to do a second album’. This gives a shock factor

almost to the audience as maybe they were expecting

another album, this is also a good pull quote as it

draws the readers in as they want to know what’s

going to happen and the reason for their next move.

The three men in the main image, their outfits also

tie in with the seriousness theme in that they are all

black, showing maybe a small amount of flesh, this is

almost making them blend into the background so

most of the concentration is on their faces.

The lead article – The lead article for this magazine

is in bold and in bright pink to make it stand out to

its audience as its surrounded text is in white. The

lead article is titled very simply, ‘THE XX’ this is

symbolic with its bold yet power-full effect it has

on its audience as it’s the bands name and seen as

what they are wearing and there matching dull

facial expressions, it ties in perfectly as one whole

image within the front cover.
