Research #5—NME Magazine Contents Page




Codes and Conventions

Still Graphics

The main image on the page is one of a featured artists, spanning what would have been two of the thirds on the page. The other image is one of the front cover of the issue, promoting the subscription.


Written Language


The description of the main article is the longest, and typeset in heavier and larger font to emphasise it as the main feature. The language is informal, with brackets and rhetorical questions which sound conversational. Red, black, white and yellow text is used, with yellow used exclusively in the promotion to make it stand out.


Layout


The layout is loosely based on the rule of thirds, with the three visible columns being unevenly spaced. The contents tables are in the first and third, with the main article and promotion in the second.
