NME: 10 Special Edition Covers

NME, similarly to other magazines not specific to music, sometimes create 'special edition' covers for collectors or special occasions. These ones were done in celebration the first edition of a new-look NME magazine.

These NME covers use different models and subjects on each 'special edition'. Compared to the normal NME cover, these 'special edition' covers are more contemporary and simply. If the model is holding an object (such as in the Laura Marling shoot, where she is holding a blue mug and the Jack White shoot, where he is sitting on a yellow chair) that is the main subject within the picture, the most noticeable contributing factor, the NME title and font colour then will be put in the same colour as the main colour feature within that photo.

The photographer also uses the same lit background throughout the 10 issues of this magazine, a white background with a hit of grey. It helps to make the artist stand out against the background because it doesn't overpower the main feature model.

In some cases, the picture of the model goes behind the title of the magazine and sometimes it is edited so that it goes over the top of it.

I will create a couple of covers as my final piece; a mix of complex and simplistic to show a variation of my skills. It will also show that i understand that the magazine market sometimes provide their buyers with a variation of magazine covers.
