This magazine cover is very typical of an NME one. This is because, firstly, it has its title in the usual place with the usual font and colour. Although the image on the front does not have a specific band or artist, it was a variety of artists as this issue of NME was dedicated to 'the greatest 100 albums ever'. According to this magazine cover, the issue offered incentives to its audience; a HMV discount card, and the chance to win tickets to the NME awards tour. The headline, '100 greatest British albums ever', is in a large font so that it can be read from a distance away and attracts attention of potential readers. Another thing which attracts the reader's attention is the bold colours used on the magazine cover. The background is a union jack which consists of the bold colours, red, navy blue and white, and on top of this the text is written in light blue and magenta. Below the headline, there is a list of bands and artists who could potentially appear in the 100 albums countdown. When the reader or sees this on the cover, they are more inclined to buy the issue if they find these bands/artists appealing.
