Front Cover Analysis: NME Wombats Cover

This front cover has a prominent main image of the band 'The Wombats' which shows the band doing 'silly' poses which is how the band's success in Britain has been described in the main cover line 'Why Britain's gone silly for the lords of the indie dancefloor'. The styling of the band isn't a main focus and they are seen in ordinary toned colours contrasting to the overlaying text in white and bright yellow. This makes the text and the image stand out as they both contrast one another. The composition of this front cover also sees a blue/yellow/white colour scheme.

There are two banners on this front cover, one on the top of the cover and one on the bottom. The first revealing the contents of the magazine and the latter revealing the new music that is featured inside the issue.

The masthead is an abbreviation for 'New Music Express' which is written underneath the masthead, which almost acts as a puff as it is shows that the magazine is going to be an express for new music and that the readers can rely on 'NME' Magazine to give them the newest music and the latest music news and information


One of the main cover lines is 'Johnny Marr joins the cribs' and then below the image 'the first joint interview' which sees the repeated use of the letter 'j' for emphasis.
