Analysis reflection

From the contents I analysed before i think i have decided that i want to replicate certain aspects of it such as the index down the left hand side. I would have to tweak the layout and create a more minimalistic feel for the page as my genre is quite different to NME and the target market are looking for a cleaner more expensive feel from this magazine. Something from the NME contents that i definitely wouldn't want to copy is the idea of have part of an article on the contents page as it appears crammed with text. I would rather have a single image covering much of the page with a small list of articles from sections in the magazine. I also think that the idea of a long title for the masthead is something i wont do, i will just have a simple logo that relates to all other areas of the magazine such as the cover and website/social networks.
