L-language
The layout of the magazine is fairly normal, although the title is at the top though, it is in the right hand corner. the title of the main article also is quite far to the top which says “Fucked Up” “The beating heart of the underground”. This is in clear white font which contrasts well with the darker background, it is understandable and clear to read. At the bottom in quote marks by a band member, prefrebly the band member who is on the cover. Stating “our shows are orgies of destruction”. This gives the impression theyre a punk/hardcore/rock band because of the use of descriptive hars words used.
I-institution
NME. Music Magazine of currently popular artists
I-ideology
The message of this magazine mainly looks as if its about music, mainly genres which are not mainstream. Usual mainstream pop artists are well groomed and have a stereotyped look. However this picture shows a man who’s half naked, covered in blood, with tattoos holding a piece of raw meat.
A-audience
I think this is aimed at younger people and those into subcultures and music genres which are not so mainstream. Because of the words used, such as profanity and ‘orgies’, I feel as though this magazine is for people aged 16/17 +
R-representation
Represents subculture things like tattoos, music
