First of all, the image shows the Joy division front man smoking a cigarette, this portrays how cool he is because he is in a photo shoot and he is having a cigarette and this shows the swagger because it's as if he doesnt care he is having his photo taken. The staring in to the camera is very serious which also shows that the artist is very serious about his music. The image is in black and white and this is good for fonts because on areas of black the magazine uses a white font and on areas of white the font uses a black font, this shows the contrast and makes the fonts stand out. The NME logo is positioned in the top left hand corner which is the same for all their editions which keeps the consistency. The heading at the top 'Anniversary special' a serif type font which gives the heading a more ancient effect and this is good because the heading is stating 'anniversary' which is from the past. There is only two images on the front cover and they both resemble Joy Divsion and this makes the magazine Joy Divsions and not the NME's, this may make Joy Division fans want to buy the magazine. The font in the bottom right hand corner of the magazine uses a drawn on/written on effect and this is good because it shows the realism of the magazine. The NME logo is till in red and this is good because it keeps up the company consistency even though the magazine is all about Joy Division and black and white fonts. The barcode is not in the bottom right hand corner like it would normally in NME magazines and this shows further evidence that Joy division are 'taking over' this magazine because they are moving elements.
For my image I will also make the model act a serious face, this is so that the audience ca see that the artist clearly is serious about his music.
