The cover of NME
The creaters are very clever as you can imminently see the bright red of the title which is then used to make MIA's name stand out. They also use red to resemble danger, this is effective as MIA is being rebellious smoking on the cover. They have made all other stories headlines in very plain colours, black and white, therefore they don't really gain the audiences attention as much as MIA and the masthead. They also make the text alot smaller than the other stories, its almost as if you could just miss that its there.
To show MIA the picture is also taken from eye level, this successfully communicates her emotion. However as it is a mid close-up shot it can also communicate her body language, which at the moment is really relaxed almost as if she couldn't care less. The image of MIA is also airbrushed however it has that very raw look from having MIA's hair flying around wildly rather than being styled.
The magazine follows a pattern of having the text surround the image making the image appear most important as if that is the selling point, the text is used as a border/ frame for her.
The magazince uses swear words and slang to communicate more to there target audience who probably would be 17-27 years. This is a very good target audience for this magazine as people that age are generally going through the stage of rebelling.
