Conventions of NME 2

In all three front covers of the NME the title is covered by a part of the main image to show that the magazine is well established and it is able to cover is title and people will still know what it is. All three covers have one main image and either two small images or no other images but they all have subtitles that portrays the texts audience because all of the sub titles are relevant to music enthusiasts, 'Artic Monkeys "Our favourite new band"'.

In all of the main images, the artists are staring at the camera to show that they are being represented confidentaly. In two of the covers the artists are looking down at the reader which makes them seem represented as confident and powerful.

On each of the covers there are subtitles advertising musical events to the audience, 'Last 200 tickets' which helps reinforce the audience of music enthuasiasts. The NME also involves a lot of modern music in it's content which makes the audience younger.
