Research and planning - Q magazine analysis

The front cover of Q features the focus of their main article in a dress and looking directly at the reader. It is a medium shot so you can see her body language. The colours are soft but eye catching(whites and pinks) with some bolder colours on certain articles to pull in potential readers. This connotes that the readers aren’t rebellious teenagers and are probably more approachable than readers of Kerrang!. The coverlines suggest that the articles range from Indie music to Pop, showing that the magazine caters for a variety of genres. 












The double page spread instantly draws your eyes through the use of the close up on the woman. Her face Is calm and dark, connoting that the article is probably about something serious and is probably personal. The text is basic, small font and black on a white background. The lack of extravagance in the article supports the connotations that it is serious. This is different to the front cover which was very bright and eye-catching. This shows that Q covers all aspects of a singer in an interveiw.
