I like the way this NME magazine has only a few different colours, they are also very similar and go together well. This is easier on the eye for audiences, if there were multiple colours on the front, it may clash and not make the magazine very attractive. This therefore draws the audience in more if the cover is nice on the eyes to look at. I've noticed this is the same with most magazines so must therefore decide on a few similar colours myself for my colour scheme.
I've also noticed The title of the magazine is a much bolder colour which makes it stand out above the rest of the cover.
My favourite thing about this cover is that the picture is so large. I definitely want my cover to have one large image across the hole cover as i believe it means the audience member will not be concentrating on looking at different pictures but will be looking at the headings and what is involved within the magazine. I also feel this cover looks a bit jam packed so is therefore a bit less pleasing to the eye. It looks as if there is a lot to read which will have a negative effect on the audience as it may put a few people off purchasing the magazine, if there is too much to read.
