The masthead is capital letters in red stating it is NME, it is the only red font on the cover it stands out and catches the reader’s eye, and the cover is modern and up to date. The masthead is on the left hand side which allows there to be more space for other item to fit on the magazine. However the sign is covered up which has an effect on the magazine because it implies that people should know the name of the magazine, it states that there is unseen photos which makes the readers want to purchase this copy it also says that it is exclusive which means that it is only in this magazine furthermore it makes the target audience want to purchase this issue. It is aimed at young students who are able to buy every issue.
The banner is bright and stands out the word special is appealing towards the audience it also says part 1 which implies that there is a second addition encouraging readers to buy it.

The picture is a medium shot of Liam Gallager with  text around his body, this is aimed at both gender. He has a serious look on his face which implicated that there is more to this magazine than what is on the front cover; it suggests for readers to not judge and read through the magazine.

The contents page is called this week instead of the contents page which is more laid back. The colour scheme is white, black, yellow and red which is the usual colour scheme for many magazines, the page is very busy with only two pictures in the centre. However fans of oasis are more than likely to get attracted to this issue of NME the caption states that 'oasis kicked off their world touch' which would make the fans want to read further on and find out what happened during the tour. The contents page also includes that subscribers will save 33% which would save their money and getting the information at the same time, it also states that there is a website which may include things that the magazine don't. 'THE UK NO1 GIG GUIDE' the wording of the statement would be a big selling point as it is the best selling guide available.

The picture covers half of the double page spread suggesting who the article is going to be focused on, it is a close mid shot of Liam Gallagher. The colour scheme is white, grey, pink, blue and yellow which is a change from the usual red white, black and yellow; the picture is of Liam Gallager it has an indie dual look to it he is also wearing the same clothes as he is in the front cover, the picture helps the font stand out as it is in different colours he still has the serious look on his face as he did on the front cover too. However he is looking away and looks sad which suggests that there is more to the story, this would encourage people to read further on.

The title is blue with yellow edges stating his name which would encourage fans to read on. There is a boost on top of the edge of his name on the right hand 2012 biggest album with studio special' which would attract the audience’s attention especially if it has the word special in it and biggest as people would think its something different and if its the biggest nowhere else can be better than that.

The first letter of the body text is in a blue circle with a yellow front highlighted black around the edges, this grabs the audience’s attention and tells them where to start of reading the article. The house style is the same as the rest of double page spread. There is a pink shape in the middle of the article. However the writing which is included in the shape has nothing to do with the article but the audience might of felt as if they got something extra.

There is a lot of space at the top of the page this emphasis the title there is also a border this is usually used in conventional magazines.
