Above are 4 covers from NME magazine (all taken from the last 2 years since NME has undergone graphical changes to it's covers). All four magazines are entirely different with artists from Pop, Indie, Dub-step and Brit pop all present. Yet, in light of the conflicting qualities of the different genres they are all united within the same magazine and that is the aim I'd like to emulate with my music magazine. The type of magazine that does not contain bias towards any types of music yet represents what's current and good about music. The magazine, whether it features artists like Libertines, or artists like Rihanna always maintains a level of currency and coolness through it's casual language and informality e.g. "About f***ing time!". Another thing I would like to borrow from this magazine is the way that the colour scheme is consistent throughout the whole cover and although alot of text is present it does not feel like the text is crowded or overbearing, nor does it take anything away from the main image.
