Textual Analysis of Three Magazine Front Covers

I am going to look at three magazine front covers, the second one is:
NME magazine.
At the top of this magazine is a plug which the first two words of the sentence are in yellow bold font and reads 'Studio News:' The next words of the sentence are in bold white font apart from the word 'and' this is written in a normal white font. The words which are in bold white font are going to attract the attention of any fans of Franz Ferdinand and The Courtneers. The plug is on a red background and the colours yellow and white stand out more.
Underneath the plug is the title of the magazine which reads NME and words are in a bold red font with a white outline around the words and also a black outline around the white outline. At the top of the letters which make up NME is a shadowing around the top of the letters and the right hand side of the letters. This makes the title of the magazine stand out more.
Down the right hand side of the magazine are four plugs which are all in bold red font and underneath the bold red words are bold black sentences which seem to explain what the plugs mean. Basically what I mean is the plugs which are in bold red font are used to catch the audience's eye and the bold black words are used to explain what them plugs mean. There is also a plug which is above the four plugs going down the side of the magazine, this plug is in a black circle. This means the plug which is in bold yellow font stand out more. The sentence which is underneath is in normal white font,so it doesn't stand out as much.
Next to these plugs is the main photo which is Alex Turner out of the Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane out of The Little Flames. Across the main photo in bold white font is the names of the two men and underneath that in normal red smaller font is the words 'First major interview as' then underneath this is a bold red bigger font is the words 'The Last Shadow Puppets' then underneath this is a normal white smaller font is a quote from the interview.
Also on the bottom of the main photo is the strapline which has been put into a box with the barcode. This box has the date the magazine was published and the price of the magazine.
The target audience for this magazine is anyone who is interested in music, teenage boys and girls and also any fans of the people shown on the front cover of the magazine.
