the skyline at the top of the page stands out in red, with white writing a rhetorical question asking the readers if Blue is back together? This would draw the reader in, it is used as a type of anchor. The answer in black font, both these lines are in black and white against the red bacground to stand out to catch the readers eye. to the right, a yellow splash showing V-Festival logo catching attention music festival fans, telling us that they know the full line up, and telling us the page to go to to see. this would make us feel like we have back stage knowledge.NME logo, behind main photo. NME in capital letters in re to stand out, the colour is very exciting and fun and it is outlined in white to make it look bigger to grab attention like 'look at me im here'. The main photo of band The Gossip, is center, Beth Dito tilting her head down, sunglasses on but looking above them straight into the camera to make it look like she is looking at the reader. this would catch their eye, like they have eye contact. Her eyes have been edited-they have been whitened to stand out.
With her band members behind her, looking over her shoulder, this is like they are backing her up. Heading-main title, center of the page, infront of the photo is big bold letters, in white outlined in black to make it stand out and look bigger. The subheading, hanlf in red, half in white, to show contrast. The words SEX has been written in red to grab readers attention, could have been below but red is more catchy and also the colour of sex. TV show SKINS is being talked about in the magazine as it says in the subheading, it is also a pun as it is the TV show in which the gossips most famous song, ‘standing in the way of control’. There is a white strap across the page under the subheading, still over the photo, in white, with red loud writing showing what else will be in the interview with the band. In the bottom right hand corner is the barcode, hidden away out of sight, making reader concentrate on the main article and other features. Strap across the bottom, mentioning another band and how their album has been rated. 7 other bands are advertised that there is info about them inside the magazine to grab readers in to read about them.
Along the left side of the front cover is the other featured stories. The first one is clearly MUSE, on a red background, white writing has been used to stand out and to make the writing look bigger than it actually is, it has been embossed in black.
But Hey! Keeeeep Blogging! :)
Embossed with black outlining catches the eye.
