The Masthead text is 'NME' followed by 'contents' showing that instantly the audience know what page this is, also the colour of NME is bright red on a black background these two colours contrasting very well, as it forces the NME to stand out. Secondly contents is a bold white font which correlates well with the black background.
On the right hand side there are other additional headings that stand out the headings are in bold white text with black backgrounds, with a slight piece of additional text/information regarding the heading title. Example being the 'LIVE!' heading as this has additional texted that is relating to bands and gigs that are soon or have recently just happened. The main image is a photograph of 'Alex Turner' he is the lead singer in the band Arctic monkeys. This could connote that people who are big fans of the band or a fan of Alex Turner would most probably be interested in purchasing the magazine. As Alex Turner is in the foreground of the image this would connote that he is seen to be as the most important person in the band from the audiences perspective making the magazine sell better.
The bottom right hand corner advertises the magazine and the starting prices, this is semi-eye catching due to the colour scheme that is used with it being a red background with white text in the foreground. The author is clever with this as he uses his own magazine to advertise it, using a very small but effective text taking up a very small area of the page.

The colour scheme text is preferably black however it varies, the background is white which contrasts well with other colours. A brief paragraph explaining news that concerns the arctic monkeys, this connotes that the audience would read this small passage quickly whether it is negative or positive as they wish to know the news regarding the band as soon as possible. Often this little passage of text can be rumours or made up content. Also i has a rhetorical question that big fans would straight away answer with a yes, 'How excited should we be about them'.
Some good deconstructions underway Jayden.
