The main image is in black and white, and has the model (Liam Gallagher) looking into the distance. Using the black and white filter makes the artist seem dark and brooding. The shot is also quite powerful because the first you see is him, and he stands out more than writing. The glasses block out the eyes and therefore you can't tell what he's looking at, which connotes mystery and hints that he's concealing his identity. This also doesn't use direct address probably because the artist is egocentric and is above it.
The masthead is what tells the reader which magazine it is that they're picking up, therefore has to standout against other competitors on the shelf. NME has a set brand masthead which continues through every release of the magazine.
The fonts are red, black and white. Red is the house style of the NME masthead and then the other text that is red is chosen either because the colours are articles that are alternating in colour.
