NME magazine LIIAR analysis (contents page)
Language-
The contents page has linked the masthead which is clearly identified on the front page onto the contents page, followed by "this week" which is used in every weekly issue of NME, emphasizing they are current events. The main image is a picture of Kasabian singing in a church which highlights the paragraph of text below it, this is probably one of the main articles in the magazine as it is highlighted as the central image and text. The usual music magazine convention of black highlighted text is used in the main topics of the contents for example "news" and "reviews". The "band index" is situated to the left of the contents page, NME have little things like this in magazines which provide alot more information than Q or any other music magazine and helps the reader navigate around the magazine easily.
A Puff/Advertisement for subscribtion is at the bottom of the contents page, cleverly placed here as the reader is more likely to look at the contents page as it is the page they go to to quickly find an article, therefore more readers will see this. Another puff used on the contents page is the text in the red arrow (stands out) which reads "THE UKS NO.1 GIG GUIDE STARTS P58"
Institution-
The insititution which publishes NME Magazine is IPC media, one of the leading magazine institutes in the UK, if i were to use this institute it would distrupt the amount of selling of my magazine as it is so similiar.
Ideology-
ideology of this contents page is just a basic contents page of NME, which provides clear contents, a Puff and a Band Index.
audience- The audience of this contents page would be people who have read on to read NME, and the section of the audience reading this page will be people who want to read a specific article in NME magazine.
Representation-
The main image in the contents page is Kasabian, who are representation in an unusual way, NME are known to represent bands in a different way to what they are usual opposed to in the media and this is a perfect example of Kasabian who have been romanticised.
