Language: The language that is used in the Magazine is very eye catching with the 3 house colours which are red, white and black. You will be able to see that this follows throughout the entire magazine. There is the masthead which tells you what magazine it is, this is eye catching because it is bold and it is short so it is very memorable. There is a caption ‘THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS’ which is more eyes catching than the actual name of the magazine. There is also a banner headline at the top of the page which tells the reader what else might be happening in the magazine and what other articles there are in there. This is not as eye catching as the caption or the masthead but it still draws the reader’s attention. ‘ALEX TURNER & MILES KANE’ is very eye catching it tells the reader who they will be expecting to see featured in the magazine, this could widen the audience because if someone liked to listen to and were interested in either Miles Kane or Alex Turner this would make them want to read the magazine. The layout of the magazine is done very professionally because as Alex Turner and Miles Kane are slightly to the right and their names are in the correct place, they are in line. This makes room for the strapline on the left side of the magazine which also tells the reader about what will be in the magazine. The 4 headings in the middle of the page are in different typefaces this grabs your attention and these are all fit in well with the layout of the page.
Audience: The audience of this music magazine would have a range of music taste; the music that the magazine is based around would be Jimi Hendrix, Sex Pistols, The Cure, The Stone Roses, Nirvana, Blur, Oasis and the Arctic Monkeys and so on. So there is a wide range of people, who could like all of this music. The Socio-economic groups for this magazine are C2 = Lower skilled manual, because most of the readers are students or are aged 16-19. The social groups that the magazine would fit in well with would be the students as I just said before. I personally don’t think that there is a certain stereotype that the magazine fits in with because the magazine contains different types of music. The representation of the magazine would be very positive because there is not any bad language on the front cover compared to the Kerrang (the other music magazine that I analysed.) The morals and values that the magazine is trying to put across is that Alex Turner and Miles Kane are talking about their good friendship so they are trying to put across that it is very important to have good friendship.
Institution: IPC Media are the company who publish NME, they produce a wide variety of magazines but NME is their only music magazine. IPC Media have also published a lot of different magazines for example, Nuts, Look and Country Life. So there is a wide range of different kinds of magazines they the company publish.
Ideology: the message that the magazine is trying to put across is telling the reader that Miles Kane and Alex Turner are good friends because they are doing a magazine shoot together and it is mentioned that they are very good friends. Also it is letting the reader know that Miles Kane and Alex Turner used to be in a band together called ‘The Last Shadow Puppets.’ There are a lot of different artists that are features in the magazine issue and this could give the reader more reason to buy it.
Representation: The magazine is putting across that there Miles Kane and Alex Tuner are good friends and there they used to ne in a band together called ‘the Last Shadow Puppets.’
Language: The language that is used in the double page spread of Miles Kane and Alex Turner is very old fashioned looking. The denotations of the double page spread are a heading of ‘BEST OF BOTH WORLDS’ letting the reader know that the article is about. There is the main image of Miles Kane and Alex Tuner, this is what is dominating the whole of the page, one either side of the article in the middle of the page. In the teasing content underneath the heading in a different colour than the rest of the writing is Alex Turner and Miles Kane and also standing out is the band that they used to be in called The Last Shadow Puppets.

IPC Media have also published a lot of different magazines for example, Nuts, Look and Country Life. So there is a wide range of different kinds of magazines they the company publish.
Ideology: the ideology of this double page spread is trying to let us know the life of Alex Turner and Miles Kane. This article is about The Last Shadow Puppets wanting to go all over the world and tell everyone about their band. Also giving the reader updates on what was happing and what they both had to go through in the article.
Audience: The audience of this issue of NME are going to want to read it if they are fans of Alex tuner and Miles Kane and what is going on in their life and how they get to where they are in the music world.
Audience: the audience for this magazine would be the people who like to listen and support the bands that are featured in this magazine. Or it could be for the people who genuinely like reading the articles that are in the magazine.
Language: the language that is used is that it is very persuasive as there is a section in the bottom of the page that is trying to make the reader sign up to the magazine and that they can save money. There is also teasing contents around the edge of the magazine because there are small headlines that tell you what is going on, then underneath that there is a couple of sentences that tell the reader more on what they will find in that section. There is also some information about Kasabian. So when the reader is flicking through the magazine they will be able to see that they are featured in the magazine.

Ideology: I think that the contents page is trying to connote a message that they want the reader to know exactly what is going on in the magazine. The page is filled with a lot of information there is no space on the page where it is not filled with information. The main image that is used shows us what the band would be like if you went to see them, it also makes the readers who are not aware of the band; they will know that they look like.
Representation: This page is representing Kasabian and what they will be like if you saw them perform. It is also representing what the reader will be able to get when they sign up for the magazine, the reader can see this because there is a box at the bottom of the page letting the reader aware.
