This is another NME magazine cover, I prefer this layout as it supports the more common conventions of the magazines framework. The Tyler The Creator cover was more of a special edition one off issue, with the golden outline and the missing subtitles on the left or right hand sides. This cover with Alex Turner and Miles Kane is more ideal for my magazines layout as it does not contradict the genres common conventions, and people will easily be able to recognise my magazines genre. The main cover line shows who the main article will feature, and this will lead most people to purchase the item depending on whether or not it is a singer that they like. As they are dressed in black, this may symbolize that they are quite dark and rebellious, which matches the quotations as it shows that Turner has taken a venture with a new artist instead of his original band set up. This is further emphasized by them being positioned back to back to show that they are not completely comfortable with each other. The large, bold fonted, red subtitles match the conventional colour scheme that NME is well known for of red and black. This makes the main features and articles of the magazine stand out and encourage the target audience to purchase the item based on bands from the genre being highlighted and made to stand out.
