Image Research Expanded.

Front Cover.

On this particular cover of NME there is more than one image, the dominant image is covering the whole page and a sub image is and is located in the top right corner. I think artificial lighting has been used on the dominant image and the picture clearly has been taken in a studio because of the white background so I assume it was studio lighting. I think the image is a medium close up and is taken at a eye level view angle. The main sell line is placed over the dominant image. Important information such as the barcode, rice and a web address are placed in the bottom left corner.

Contents.

There is only one main image on the contents page, the picture is taken when the band are on stage performing so it’s a very natural picture and not very posed, the lighting is from stage lights, small details that I noticed on the age are how they have a small part of the article on the contents to give readers a little peek into what they will be reading which will draw them into the magazine more. The page numbers are in red font which makes them stand out a lot more. An advert to subscribe to the magazine and get cheaper issues stands out at the bottom of the page.

Double page spread.

The image has one of the pages to itself, there are no other images apart from the dominant one, a pull quote is used in the article and a page number is also on the right side page. The article isn’t a Q&A style. The masthead is in large bold writing.
