NME Cover Analysis
In this particular front cover, the main feature's font is in an almost Gothic, newspaper style and allows for a link between the style of the font and the genre of music to form. The font holds dark and gothic connotations which is similar to not only the style of the band, but also the genre of music. The use of this particular font may allow people to identify with the style that is on the magazine and therefore be more inclined to read the magazine through them being able to relate to it.
This may be used to influence my magazine, as I am also going to use fonts on my front cover that have styles similar to that of the genre of music that the artist in the feature belongs to. Much like in the example, the font I use to accompany the main image will be different to the font(s) I use for the text about the other features in the magazine as it allows to distinguish between the main article and other articles, making the main feature stand out even more and act as the central part of the cover.
