1. Presentation for NME music
magazine
The audience for the NME magazine that I chose is for young
adults and adults. This is shown through the image on the
front ‘Florence’ is a young women. Who appeals to young
teens with her music and looks. But with headlines such as
‘Steve Jobs 1955-2011 The man who revolutionised music’
this would then be for adults who knew a lot about his work
therefore they may buy it for that reason. Then to young
adults the heading ‘The greatest track of the last 15 years
revealed’ would be for everyone who is interested in
knowing the last best track. This all shows that the audience
will be people who are attracted by what the front cover has
to offer. This teaches me that it’s important what is put on
the front cover, as that is what will attract people to buy it.
2. The representation of the magazine has been set out to
have a newspaper setting and a magazine setting the
cover has been made to look retro/vintage also bold with
white, red and black writing. The inside of the magazine
has a news paper feel to it and look, in bold capitals
‘INSIDE THIS WEEK’ centre of the page at the top. Then
the page in sections with images next to the page number
these are the main stories of which are inside the
magazine. The images are clear and are a good size, the
font is easy to read for the readers. Lastly at the bottom
of the NME magazine cover it says “Plus Justice| foals|
Wolf gang| Rihanna glasvegas| Enter Shikari|Radiohead”
this then makes the reader want to buy it more after
reading the head lines .

4. Advertising in the magazine is good for advertisers, as NME is a fairly
popular music magazine. So advertisers see this as a great
opportunity in the inside front cover is a JD advert. On the back
inside cover is an ‘orange iPhone 3GS’ monthly contract advert. On
the back cover is a debut album which is coming out soon
advertisement. And throughout the magazine at least 30 plus
advertisements. These take many pages of the magazine meaning
they pay a lot of money for their adverts to be in there.
Inside of front cover advert for
JD sports shop. £6,000-£10,000
for this advert to be there.
5. Inside back cover advert for a
monthly orange contact.
Possibly £4,000-£6,000 for this.
6. Back cover advert for
album release. Possibly
£5,000- £10,000 for the
back cover.
7. Lastly the NME magazine has the date and price next to
each other, magazines usually are the same price weekly
NME magazine therefore costing £2.40. NME comes out
every Wednesday and it’s price is okay compared to other
music magazines which start at £3.50. Their bar code is
placed on the bottom left of the front cover with the price
and date above it again. This makes it easy to scan at the
till.
