It says on under "Morrissey", "The Mozfather is back at his shocking best". This says to me that he is well known talented person who everyone who knows music will love. Mozfather is like the God father. In the films, the term "The Godfather" would be someone to fear but lots of people gave respect to. Thats what Morrissey is in the music industry.
The main font colour on the front is yellow. But I think thats true for most of the covers for NME. Its like the signature font colour for the NME.
Theres quite a lot of information on the front of the magazine. It looks quite busy in my opinion. On my cover I would want to have less information on it to make it more intriguing.

The theme colour on this magazine seems to be red. Apart from these little bursts of red, generally the rest of it seems to be black and white. Also the main cover photo, it goes black, white, black in terms of clothing. Also this works because if you look at their hair you will see that it goes from a gingerish type colour, brown to ginger again. Its a sort of balanced colour page. The colours on the page would appeal more to people, of the rock/indie/goth etc. persuasion.
The phrase "unfold the puzzle of life..." would be a something that would really catch your eye. The ellipsis at the end make it feel more mysterious.
The cover photo fits nicely into the "rule of thirds". Theres is a clear divide between them all. The centre person fits into the centre box
