MAVERICK vs NME.

Both Mastheads are unique in design and positioning of the frame, they are very masculine reflecting the targeted audience. Additionally puffs are used to feature some sort of prize. The barcode is placed in the right hand bottom corner to the side, as not to draw too much attention to the price. Also both have feature article photographs. A major difference is that there is a skyline placed at the top of NME rather than the bottom and the shot type used to portray the foals (medium shot).

Both contents pages are image heavy and very busy and detailed in regards to content displayed. Both do not feature band indexes which are extremely common in indie rock music magazines, however Mavericks contents page states that there is a band index on the next page. Both also have subscription sections. To add no contents page features a letter from the editor, this could be because they are often featured in pop magazines.

Both of these double page spreads have the main image placed on the right hand side of the page. They also both share similar color schemes. They feature pull quotes and headlines along with page numbers.
