q magzine analysis

This differs quite a bit to the q magazine cover which for that particular front cover had a rap artist to be the main focus of the article and this magazine focuses on rap music than any other genre as this is what the magazine is about. The first thing that you will notice is the use of colour throughout the contents page is that it uses a lot of white and yellow the yellow however is mainly used to show particular points of interest to the reader also black is used quite a lot on it as well the mix of these two colours together could be used to represent something. Also many of the main articles have a picture to accompany the writing as it will give the reader some extra information on the contents page as well and will make it the main focus to whoever may be looking at it. Also the target audience for this would be anyone who is interested in this genre of music and seems to be more aimed at a teenage audience by the way that it is laid out in a certain way to be more appealing to the kind of people who will be reading this.

The main picture on the front of the magazine is really large as it wants this to be the main focus of the cover as this is what people most people will be interested in. Also the colours that are used on the main cover is it uses mainly red, gold and white these were most likely used as red and white colours are a staple of this particular magazine also gold links in with the main photo of the article as well as it is a symbol of wealth and portrays him as being a powerful person. Also the main photo that is used on the front cover is used as a close up shot this is most likely done to really emphasise the importance of him in the magazine and how he is the main focus of the magazine. Also around all of the main parts of the front cover there are also other things about the other content in the magazine in case you may not want to read the other article also it will attract a larger audience to the magazine if there are a wider range of genres in it. Much of the important info is also highlighted in the red colour to draw attention to anything that could be of any relevance to the reader. Also at the very top of the page there is a strap line which also talks about extra information on the article,   

This double page set out in a way so that it grabs the reader’s attention it does this by having a large picture of the artist who they are going to read about this means anyone who is interested in them will be drawn to this article. Also it uses eye catching sentences in the text which will also make people want to read it they do this by picking the good bits out of the text and put them in eye catching font so that the reader will also be drawn to this. I think that the target audience for this article would be anyone who is interested in that genre of music and is aimed at a older generation due to its lack of images compared to many of the other magazines such as kerrang. I think that the colours are used such as gold are used to symbolise something such as wealth this would be relevant to the person who is in the article is quite wealthy. This also differs to kerrang magazine in the fact that it is higher quality then something like kerrang by the way in which it is laid out. Also the colours are used to good affect in the article as well because they use them to show a question and a answer for something.
