NME magazine is effective because the photographs use direct address to engage the reader. The magazine ‘holds together’ by attracting the reader using bold font colours and lots of interesting headlines. The convention that is most dominant would be the colour scheme. The colour of the text is mainly red, with the celebrities’ names in a white font as they are the main focus of the magazine.
