Deconstruction Of Magazine Front Cover 2

Font	The font would attract the aimed target audience by following the same conventions and font type of Leeds and Reading festival. People who went or were interested about Leeds and Reading will be drawn into this magazine because of the same font, knowing that the magazine will talk about and discuss Leeds and Reading in depth.
Text	There is no much text on this front cover and this is because the titles are what will drag the target audience in, just having Leeds and Reading festival will attract people of NME target audience as they are festivals aimed at the NME. The fact that the words are about modern artists and up to date acts that NME’s target audience would find appealing.
Colour	NME on this front cover has presented the front cover as all red. And having the NME title on the left hand side at the top in white font, the reason for this is that it will attract the eyes of the audience and stand out from the rest. They words in yellow are most likely what people would class as the most important and it follows the conventions of the Leeds and Reading titles.
Body Language/Staging	The body language would appeal to the target audience because all the artists on the front cover are standing as they are performing, that is there body language. This would appeal to the target audience as people who read NME like to go to gigs and festivals and this would appeal to them.
Framing
Lighting	The lighting is focused on the faces of the artists as they look upon the reader, there is no direct gaze from the artists here.
Composition: (overall design/ layout)	Overall this magazine cover is really good considering it is a Leeds and Reading special. They do not have one main image as they have all the headliners who are equally important. They have a clever title ‘They came. They conquered.’ The price being not important and you could say they want to hide it, small print.
