For this front cover of an NME magazine, you can see that there is allot of variety's on the front cover that will keep the reader more interested into the product. It keeps the reader more interested and makes them want to buy the magazine, but the bright colours, that contrast against each other with the white background that will make the colours of the red and blue stand out. Also the fact that the colours are representing the American flag, as most of the artist and the main image of Lana Del Rey are all American singers/artists, which will attract more younger viewers and make the readers who are more interested into music magazines, will want to buy. The main image on the front cover has a mid shot angle, with the main feature of the image with the gaze of the image, that will engage the reader and making it look like it's looking at them, making them want to see the product.

There are also some pugs and pull outs quotes, to make the reader see what articles or competitions are going to be inside the magazine, and make them want to buy it. You can also see that the blur text on the front cover seem to highlight the artist's names or anything that has to do anything with music. This front cover also uses secondary images at the top right hand corner to give the reader, more of an insider of what's some articles are going to be about, because if someone was interested in a certain band or singer, they will want to read more about them.The mast head is white, big and bold, since it doesn't have a colour that is very bright and will attract the viewer. It is also in front of the main image since it isn't that bright and will give new readers what brand of the magazine is.

This is my first plan for the contents page for my magazine. When making this plan, it helped me on what i really want for the contents page to look like, using detailed describtions to help me when actually making my contents.





In the images above, the crosses are shown, that they weren't suitable for the main image on the fron cover of the magazine. However the ticks are showing that these pictures are suitable for the front cover. The reason why the images with the crosses are not going to be shown, on the front cover, is because they are either, bad quality, blurry, at a bad angle, or it wasn't suitable for the front cover.

I think that the images with the ticks shown, are very suitable for the front cover, because they are not blurry, and are at a good quality with a good camera angle, that will help the magazine be bought, as it will make it seem professional and more appropriate to the reader.
