NME Magazine Textual Analysis.

"NME" is a magazine that informs its audience about upcoming bands/solo artists, tour dates, news about bands and the music industry in general.
The front cover shows Steven Morrissey, the front man "Morrissey" as the main story of that particular issue is about him. The photo hasn't been taken in a studio because you can see a building in the background and above the headline "MORRISSEY" is says in a banner "when in Rome, get drunk with...". Because NME is such a well known magazine, it doesn't matter if the title is being covered up by something, like on this front cover, because everyone knows its still NME (New Music Express). The NME Logo is always in the same position, the top left corner, which helps people looking for it to recognise it easier. All around the photo and headline it has different story headlines such as "INSIDE THE KAISERS' BRITS PARTY", "ARCTIC MONKEYS-"Our Favourite new Band" and "THE STROKES-Summer date revealed". This is to make people buy the issue if they aren't just interested in Morrissey.
