2. The target audience for this magazine is young
adults around the age of 16=35, who like any
genre of music as the magazine contains
information about a mixture of genres. The font
used on the front cover is serif, this give the a
youthful look to the magazine which works well
as it is targeted at younger adults. With this
font it almost looks as though it has been
written onto the page which gives a youthful
look to the page. The masthead it covered by
the main image of the artist which mean people
know the theme and look of the magazine
without seeing the whole brand, so the image
takes priority. The colors that have been used
are bright neon colours which links to the
artists pop/rap genre of music/ The image of
the artist is serious and the use of the
sunglasses gives a mysterious and shady
appearance of the artist.

3. The magazine content page is relevant
to the young adult target audience as
it contains image of young artist
which are in the same age generation
as the readers. Also this content page
used the typical ‘Q” magazine colour
theme of red and white which people
relate with this magazine. The content
page also uses artist such as
Professor Green and Kings of Leon,
who are both fit into the young adult
target group theme. It has an informal
look due to its rhetorical questions
and the use of bad language. It could
also be seen as the informal text
associates with the target audience of
young people. The use of the close up
image of the larger image on the
content page could also be seen as
informal.

4. This double page spread links
to it’s specific target audience
by the use of this article about
Lady Gaga, as she is young
herself and he music has a
younger target audience too.
The language used is informal,
this relates to the younger
generation of young adults.
The use of the large kicker ‘L’
is associated with the name
Lady Gaga as the first letter of
her stage name is ‘L’. The
colour of this kicker is the
same as the magazines logo.
The image gives a youthful
look by the way she is hardly
wearing clothes and the
relaxed body language. With
the image being in black and
white, the whole double page
spread only consists of three
colours, red, white and black
which are the typical ‘Q’
colours.
