Due to the background being white and the main colour being red, the fonts stand out immediately. Connotations of the colour red are danger, power and determination. These all link well to the pose and camera angle of the main image- the two men are standing back to back, with a straight, well posture. The camera is also at a low angle, making the two men higher and look more powerful.
The masthead, 'NME' uses various techniques to make it stand out more. The initial red is bold and again, connotes power. The letters are bordered individually using the colour white. This separates the letters but lastly, the masthead as whole is bordered with a thick black lining. The masthead is the main thing you'll see when magazine are on a stand so it's important for it too be bold and eye-catching. The black border also allows it too stand out from the red strip across the top.
This makes it stand out from the red skyline behind it.
This magazine cover uses a skyline at the top of the cover in which it uses the colours white and yellow. The white links to the background and the yellow is the same as the font in the boxed text.
The image is positioned on the cover to the right, leaving space on the left. This is where the cover lines are placed- the red and black is clear on the white background and is easy to read.
The main cover line is over the main image and is bigger than all the rest.
Underneath the masthead, there's text on a circle (boxed text). This stands out from the other cover lines.
