NME Front Cover

Language- Medium close-up because close-up you wouldn’t get the figure in and the clothes but long shot would be too far way to notice the hair and make-up in detail. Punk rock image and a red and black colour scheme, red is a symbol for anger or danger and this is a good representation of a rock and rebellious image. The white and black outlined text then stands out against the image. The text is sans serif to continue this rock impression as if the words are been shouted and some letter are in capitals. Lily is a good model for this genre she is a connotation of youths rebilion. The denotation is show through the text, it is in upper and lower case, it looks hand-made and cut out as if someone has made it themseleves, this is the opposite of the mainstreet design which always trys to look really professional. This creates an anti-image which shows the denotation of rebelling against the mainstreet design by being different and unique. However normal magazine conventions applied such as teasing contents running across the bottom banner.
