Identify the elements that connect the 3 different

parts of the magazine NME

The sans serif

font is these
pages and
consistent
throughout
the whole
magazine
which brings
the magazine
pages
together
showing
continuity.

Each page has

some sort of title
which adds
organisation to the
magazine, making
it clear what each
page is about.
(masthead, page
title or main
headline).

The Colour scheme

connects all 3 of these
pages. On each page red,
black and white are
predominantly used. This
also links each one back
to the house style.

Mise en scene, both

the double page spread
and front cover use
graffiti as a
background. The
contents page does not
use the graffiti
background although it
does use the rule of
thirds for the
organisation of the
page, as do the other

Each page has at least one image which

links to the article or text. Images are used
to attract a wider audience, often readers
will flick through the magazine without
reading every page so bright images will
attract their attention and tend to be more
interesting than large chunks of text.

The target audience for this magazine is predominantly white males, aged between 17-30
which is an unusually broad age range. We know that this is the target audience because of
the images and colours used, the colours are ones that would be considered masculine and
the main images are often of male artists.
