Analyse Q magazine front cover

On the front cover of Q magazine, the first thing that I noticed was the prominent masthead 'Q', the masthead is white with a bright red background and underneath has the selling line a 'A different take on music'. To the right of the masthead is a centre image of Lilly Allen and a panther, underneath is the main cover line titled 'Lilly Allen & her wicked, wicked ways...' This draws the audience in as Lilly Allen is a well known celebrity and people will be intrigued to read the story/interview on her. Also Lilly Allen has the representation of a confident, attractive, outrages female solo musician which would attract the audience to buy the magazine as many people idolise Lilly and aspire to be like her also many people like to hear her opinions on other musicians and various topics so this would also attract the readers. The magazine has many cover lines that seemed to be crowded together in bold black writing, the background on the font cover is grey which is a good contrast with the image and the text. The institution for this magazine is Q, I can tell this from the masthead of the magazine .The ideology of this magazine is claiming having a different take on music then all of the other magazines out there, this is stated in the magazines selling line. The target audience for this magazine I would say are adults a who are into classic rock/rock music. I think this because the issue of the magazine is featuring artists such as U2,The Rolling stones and Queen which are quite old rock bands who have or where going on for many years. The magazine is not particularly aimed at any gender however I think more of the male generation would be attracted to this magazine.
