1. How does NME reach
its target audience?

2. The target audience for this magazine is late
teenagers to adults in their late twenty‟s.
You can work out the target audience from
the front cover of this magazine due to their
being a big band on the front which attracts
a lot of attention. Not many young teenagers
are into them so the magazine doesn‟t cater
to get their attention.
There are a lot of cover lines which will
attract attention because of the layout. The
layout is structured and organised which
makes it easier to follow.
The same colours have been used on the
front cover for the masthead, cover lines
and the main article. This is good because it
doesn‟t make it look messy.

3. From the contents page you can see that it isn‟t just a one
of magazine because the title to the contents is “inside
this week”. Also the contents page is effective because yes
it does give you a list of what is in the magazine but it
makes some of the pages stand out, for instance page 17
stands out and so does page 22.
I believe these pages have been made the most „eye
catching‟ because they are the most important subjects in
the magazines. In the right bottom corner they are
advertising there magazine by saying that you can
subscribe to their magazine as a perfect Christmas
present for someone.
I believe that this will help their magazine and because
the contents page is the page people are going to look at
the most. Therefore this was a good idea due to them
seeing it every time they try to find a page they will look
at it and it will then start sinking in and they may
consider doing it because they have seen it so much.
There is a lot of guttering on this contents page but it‟s
effective because of how its organised and laid out.

4. Double page
spread spread is great
The double page
because of the font and colour of the
page they have used. You straight
away know what and who the article
is going to be about because of the
massive title and the picture that
takes up a page.
Looking at the main body copy you
can see the writer has used a drop
On the double page spread it doesn‟t cap. They have used the same font
mention the writer from what I can see and design that they used for the
it does mention Matt Salacuse, the man title for the drop cap as well. The
who took the photo for this double page text has been structured into
spread. It doesn‟t have any white spaces columns due to it being easier to
or guttering, the text seems to fill it up follow when reading; it also looks a
quite well and uses most of the room lot better than if you have it laid out
given which is good because more text like a story.
has been fitted on.

5. The average age for this
magazine is 24 this reflects on the
things they have used on their
reader profile. Most of the things
are what late teenagers and adults
are into. They are also things men
are more interested in than
women.
