When you look at the content page for NME you will notice that the use of colour scheme is consistent from what is used on the front cover. By repeating the use of Red, Black and white it almost creates a sense of rhythm through the magazine, this is used to lour in the target audience and almost convince them to continue reading. Also the colours Red, Black and white are very stereotypical colours used to portray the target audience for this magazine, this attracts most viewers.

On the content page the head line ‘NME THIS WEEK’ is cleverly placed to the top left hand side of the magazine, this is because it is normal for the reader to look from left to right from the top of the page so placing ‘NME’ there means the reader will see the logo of the magazine, this is so the reader can identify the magazine before reading it.

To The left hand side of the content page is an added feature labelled the Band Index, this is very informative because it presents all the bands in the magazine and it directs you to the page they are on.

The five banners to the right present what is featured in the magazine, they direct you where to go and inform you about the subjects . I have come to notice that the first thing I look at when I see this content page is the masthead, and when I look at this I follow it over towards the contents page numbers , this is intentionally done to lead the reader to the main feature and content of the magazine. It again continues to lead you round the page .

The composition for this is very well thought of, they have made it so you look from the top left hand side and are drawn towards the right and lead to the main story. The use of text is very basic and easy to read, but at the same time it is bold and stands forward, this type of text is used because it almost symbolises the target audience, loud, expressive, big and bold.

The main image features the main story about the band the Kasabians, the image presents the story described in the sub-heading. The image is large and has a lot going on in it, because the colour scheme features a lot of white in the background, the image which is quit dark stands forward, suggesting this is the main story.

Use of advertisement to invite the audience and inform the audience. Also is a way to make more income. Advertising things such as gigs and subscriptions, things the audience for NME are interested in.
