NME Arctic Monkeys Cover

2/2/2017


I really like the colour on this front cover. The way the red contrasts to the navy blue of Alex Turner's jacket looks very nice. The red of the headline also corresponds with the red from the magazine name in the top left and the exclusives in the top right. I think it looks very good the way that they have stuck to a 3 colour scheme with the red, white and black texts which, again, contrasts brilliantly to the background and. Those 3 colours also contrast very well with each other to make it look very professional. I will be sticking to a 3 colour scheme which will be contrasting to the background to make my mag eye catching to my target audience.

The way the Arctic Monkeys are posing is typical of an indie rock band. Alex Turner (the lead singer) has kept his sunglasses on to show his indie fashion type, along with them all either wearing a jacket or an over-shirt which are quite indie pieces of clothing, especially on a hot day. The magazine is also showing that they have an indie style by using the quote "Are you ready for us then?". I will include a stereotypical indie quote on the front of my magazine to go along with the picture of my band.
