week 10: NME Review

Through observing NME magazine, the adverts within the mag are about bands, Dvd’s, latest cameras, tours, events and competitions. These are obviously aimed more at males between the ages of 17-21.The music included is mainly indie, rock and pop which is not really my cup of tea. The main feature is about Coldplay and up and coming artist’s, and allows people to voice their views about what they think about current songs e.g. Kylie’ In my arms’. The adverts seem to take up the majority of space on a page, but throughout the mag there is an equal amount of written text and pictures. The language used ‘ It’s good to know that they can also expertly stick their tongue in their cheek’. Anyone can understand the language as they use some slang but not a great deal of it, the text was too small to read which at times can make me flip through the pages or put it to one side.
