This is the music magazine for NME. NME has an ideology where rock and indie music and culture is important. An example of media language that’s shows this is the images on the contents page. I think that NME target audience is young people aged between 14 and 20.
Contents pages are used to display what is going to appear in the magazine they need to be clear and precise about what is going to appear in the magazine. The title is displayed in big bold writing making it clear what magazine institute it is. The articles are under different heading making it clear to the reader what each article is about, for example New, Review.
The central article is very clear and bold this will be the main feature in the magazine. The green contrasts with the black writing making it stand out more to the reader. Also the writing in the centre is the biggest compared to the other writing around the edges.
The images on the page represent the target audience and genre. At the bottom of the page there is a promotional offer to save over £45 is you subscribe to NME now. This entices the target audience to subscribe as they think that are saving lots of money. The bands are representative of the rock/indie genre.
In the bottom right hand corner there is a box in red saying The UK’s No1 gig guide starts p58. Because this box is in red it gives more dominance over the other articles because it stands out more. It is also the same colour as NME’s logo also giving it more importance.
NME also has a website promoting bands and other various music things. Its institution purpose is commercial to make money this effects the content as it has adverts and the contents is mainly entertainment as displayed on the content page
