Uncut research

Due to my computer being very naughty, I had to put the images separate from the text for this.

The images are of an Uncut front cover, contents and DPS.

Compared to NME, there are a few similarities with the front covers.
The main image is large and imposing, standing out prominently.
Also, the lead article is written largest, and stands out.
However, there is a banner at the top.
There are a lot of band and artist names on the cover at the bottom, and the masthead is massive, stretching across the entire page.


The contents page is dominated by a large image, with a description and page number in the lower left.
The regular articles are tiny, grouped together. The features and reviews are larger, and all the writing is organised into a column in the left third of the page.


The DPS is filled with several images of varying size, and the text runs on both pages, but at the bottom. The article is written quite small, again organised into columns.

The house style is based on the colours red and black, like NME. The red box containing text features in the contents and DPS of two different issues. The red writing features in all three.
