NME is a music magazine. The magazine mainly consists of pop and rock magazine, which you can tell from looking at this double page spread. NME focuses on artists, such as Lily Allen, that were big in the past and allows people to see how they were successful in the past. NME is now one of the world’s biggest music sites, with over 7 million users per month. Every if people have never heard of the band on the second double page spread, they are still likely to buy the magazine as they have an interest in this genre of music. NME are very Unique as there aren’t many magazines that promote this genre of music, which makes people more interested in reading their magazines as they are different to everyone else and ‘stand out from the crowd’.
A- NME is mainly targeted at teenage boys who are interested in this genre of music. The magazine is aimed at predominantly British people and 70% of the readers are men and the other 30% are women. However, some teenage girls may be interested in the magazine, depending on that genre of music they like. IPC, describes NME as having a male target audience. The magazine mainly focuses on today's music. Also, because they use artists and groups from the past in their magazines, it will make people interested because teenagers won't really be aware that much about groups and artists from the past and how successful they were. The IPC website states "NME.COM is the world’s biggest standalone music site serving an intensely engaged audience of 16-24 year olds. A copy of NME normally costs £2.30 and has and an issue is released every week.
R- On the first double page spread, it feature Lily Allen and the second, features Florence Walsh. The pages reflect a house style, using a particular colour scheme (red, black and white). There is only 1 image on each of the double page spread which takes up most of the space because it is an older target audience; you don’t really need lots of images to attract them to read the magazine. The image takes up most of the page and the text is in the bottom corners of the pages, so that the first thing the reader sees when they look at the double page spread is the image and is makes them want to read on with the page. The most important details on the double page spread are in bold.
