Links Between The Different Parts Of The NME Magazine

By Jac Colton

Use Of Colour

All the parts feature the colours red and white. The masthead is red and white and is featured on the front cover and contents page. The 2 page spread does not feature the masthead but does feature the colours in the form of Dizzee Rascal's red jacket and the white wall behind him. These bright colours stand out and draw attention to the magazine’s front cover, contents page and 2 spread article. The constant use of the same bright colours also create a standout brand that the target audience will recognise.

Font and Text Style

The text and font style of all 3 parts of the magazine is very similar and connects all 3 parts to the theme and main article of the magazine. The font is designed to look like a graffiti art. The style is used on the front cover, contents page and 2 page spread. It links to the article as Dizzee Rascal fans would usually be found in urban city area, which is also the place where you would most likely find graffiti art. This also links with the main images on the front cover and 2 page spread as graffiti can be seen in the background and Dizzee Rascal is seen vandalizing the wall with graffiti on the 2 page spread
