Indie Magazine - Front Cover Analysis

NME magazine is a indie/alternative music magazine. You can tell it is Indie because of the colour scheme on the front page, Black and white and red are all indie colours and work well together as they do not overpower anything on the page. 

The font styles are all bold and stand out which works well with Indie magazines, in comparison to pop magazines where you would see more italic fonts. 

The artist on the front is clearly the focus of the magazine as she is taking up the whole page and her name is in bold at the bottom.

They have stuck to normal codes and conventions by having the title at the front and having the barcode, issue number and price on the front page.
