Q magazine is a music magazine published in the UK monthly. The founders of the magazine were mark Ellen and David Hepworth. The magazine was first published in 1986.The Q magazine logo is located in the top left hand corner of the front cover. It is bright red with a white 'Q'. It really stands out and the same colours and the location of the logo is the same every issue so it creates a brand image and familiarity of the magazine to readers.
The main focus of the magazine cover is Madonna. The word 'Madonna' is in bold bright red lettering and is two thirds down the page. The lettering is the same colour as the logo and therefore matches it. There is also a picture of Madonna in the centre of the page. They could have used the image of Madonna because she is famous and her fans could buy the magazine because she is on the front cover. She is wearing black clothes that blend in with the background that draws attention to her face as that part is the lightest part of the front cover.
The features of the magazine are written in white and therefore stand off the black really well. One of the main features in the magazine is a 70 page special of women in music, which could stand out to the target audience as a representation of women is being used and could attract males and females to read this feature for different reasons for example females may read it to copy fashion and look up to the women and males could read the article because they may be attracted to the women in them. Another feature of the magazine is the issue is a bumper issue of 196 pages so this could make the audience think they are getting more for there money because they are getting more pages to read. Also 'big names' are featured on the front cover so this could persuade more people to buy the magazine as more names are used so it could appeal to a bigger range of people.
