Tell me some about the main magazine image
The main image within this article , attracts men obviously because of the beautiful person on the front of it and the body she has , as well as men women see fergie as an icon in the pop industry so it appeals to all.
Cover Lines & Main Sells
Tell me some about the cover lines and main sells
The cover line states what the whole article is going to be evolved around for example “10 years in music” with artists all around that comment who relate to it. If there's a big story inside like “The story of the decade” this will challenge who evers interested in that genre to most definitely read it
Do the same thing for another magazine…
“Our biggest fashion issue of the year” the cover line, they make it sound so exiting and attractive that it just draws customers towards it .And with Katy Perry being on the front of it which is allot of men's dreams and women's icons it’s a big seller.
Comparisons
The difference between these two magazines are obvious , the colours used in both articles are opposite because they both have opposite target audiences, also the layout in the NME one is more narrow and straight forward were as the Katy Perry one is all spread out around Katy Perry focused more on the image rather than the text.
