Research and planning - Magazine articles

NME has a lot of great ideas for magazine features as they consistently entice the audience week in and week out into buying there magazine, some of which are: Interviews with certain key members of a band which has a very high status for example Noel Gallagher from Oasis. Another Key feature is the use of attractive features such as a GIG guide, this makes the viewer keen to find out what is actually thus attracting them to buy the magazine.
This NME magazine also has: Gutters, Letters, Vocals, Crosswords, information on NME TV and even A PUG to attract the audience to spending even more money.










The Magazine image shown on the right shows a key idea which offers a place where people can go to show there interest even further about there love for the for the magazine, I really like the use of having an App which can be visited from the comfort of your own home as it shows that they have taken in what the audience cares about. This magazine would not be an effective front cover and the Total guitar magazine does not 100% fit into the genre of music my magazine i want to represent, but this would make a really effective hand out slide that comes with the magazine or even by editing the picture so it is just the phone describing the App and placing it on a original front cover would be very effective.
