Contents Page NME Magazine

The contents page of the magazine offers lots of different stories and articles featuring different artists e.g. The Ramones opinions of themselves as a band, Willis’s Earl Beal’s opinions and views of himself and more stories on peoples views on them as bands or artists and others opinions on them. The language used throughout the contents is encouraging and appealing to the audience “The new albums like the old stuff... Only better” said by The XX. Which makes the reader more encouraged to read on and have better knowledge of their new album that may be coming out. The colour scheme is different to the front page having plain black and white, I think NME did this so it didn’t distract the reader’s attention from the many articles and stories advertised and made it clearer and easier for them to read important information. In the corner of the page a bright red box says “Save £1 an issue” inside, the colour of the box and the text inside will appeal to the audience as it will make the audience feel as though the magazine benefits them in many ways by giving them entertainment and information but also saves them money and gives them their moneys worth as there is so much on offer. There are many images on the contents page of this magazine, this is good as it shows there is lots of different contents on different artists and bands, this can relate to the audience being of different ages and genres as there are many different artists places on the page, it will also help the audience know what page different artists are on and have a clear view of what the story is about and who it is also about. The bold writing of short information about the articles shows their importance and signifies to the audience that they should read it, for insight on what they will be reading next.Also the types of bands and artists that are on the contents page will appeal to the audience as it is aimes at the audience interested in rock/indie style of music.
