4. The target audience of Q
magazine is mature music
lovers but is purchased by
any music enthusiasts of all
ages. The genre of this
music magazine is indie. In
each Q magazine theirs
always a compiling list, on
this month it’s a 16-page
gig blow out.
5. The indie music magazine uses
many bright and bold features to
encourage readers to purchase the
magazine. The text is in capital
letters, making it easy to read and
gives a clear message about who
is the main story in the magazine.
The logo is always found on the
left top side of Q magazine and is
always white and red. The
magazine is telling reader that
Florence is a ‘woman on edge’ to
pull the audience in, they chose
one quote from the singer ‘I feel
so alone’.
6. The large close-up cover
image of Florence (Florence
and the machine) takes up the
whole cover. The colour blue is
used to tie in with the eye
shadow on Florence and is
shown on the bullet points and
cover line separators. The red
hair colour also coordinated
with the magazine’s iconic logo
on the top left corner of the
cover. The pale white
complexion of Florence also
coincide with the white text.
7. The image is large and covers the whole of the
magazine cover, some of the writing is quite big, theirs
a range of sizes. The language used is quite catchy with
the audience and there is some slang used for example
‘Noisy git’. The magazine has quite simple colors such
as white, red and blue. The magazine cover has made
the photograph of Florence go with the font and the
magazine logo. This magazine uses many bright and
fold fonts to encourage the reader to purchase the
magazine. Also all the text shown is in capital
letters, making it easy to read and it gives a clear
message of what is inside the magazine.

9. This music magazine is aimed at
young teens interested in the latest
music and young celebrities. The
cover is filled with images and cover
lines, showing a range of features
shown inside. The colour scheme
consists of several different colors
creating a fun and youth theme.
The white background makes the
magazine stand out more. There is
a lot more colors, texts and images
on this cover magazine. Also Q
magazine is more sophisticated
than Top of the pops.
10. For my music magazine I want darkish and
warm colors for example
black, red, orange, brown and etc… I also want
my font the same but the writing sizes different
depending on their importance on the
magazine for example main stories/ headlines I
want large. I’m also planning on using some
quotes out of my magazine on the cover
because I think this works well and can make
the audience want to read it. I’m also planning
on using some slang which indie teenagers and
young adults of both genres use.
