NME (New Musical Express), is a weekly music magazine that tends to focus on particular music trends of the time, it mainly focues on bands and musicians that are very popular and tends to focus on specific genres that are popular of current times, but it also features vetran and classic bands and musicians (see Ian Curtis cover) as well. NME follows a similar layout to Q, in terms of how the logo is positioned, how the band are photgraphed and teh backgropund. The differences here though is that NME has alot more vibrancy that Q lacked, alot of their covers feature a big array of colour and font schemes, that really grab the eye. The cover is also packed full of otehr pictures as well which brings in more focus on otehr things featured in the issue i.e. album covers and pictures of other musicians. I only have oone criticism of this magazine cover and that it's sometimes a bit too packed full of things, sometimes tehre is so much packed on the cover it becomes a bit of a mess and just becomes really muddled and confused. Theses covers don't portray this well, except maybe the Oasis one a little bit, but passed NME covers have just been a bit of a mess.
