On this magazine the masthead ‘Q’ takes up the majority of
the space which is on the top left and a bright red colour. The reason for it
being so big compared to everything else on the page and a bright colour is so
that the audience automatically recognises the brand which stands out on the
dark magazine. At the very top of the page the Tagline is telling the buyers
what the magazine is about and sums up the ‘Q’ in the shortest possible way.
The tagline is white which instantly works with the black background ‘THE UK’S
BIGGEST MUSIC MAGAZINE’ with words such as ‘biggest’ and ‘music’ it would
already be appealing to the target audience of teenagers because basically all
teenagers listen to music and discuss music with their friends. The colour
scheme of this magazine is black white and red which works very well together,
the red and the white show up very well on the black background and her dark
hair. On the Right hand side of the page there is information of the content
inside the magazine in a mixture of red grey and white, by making ‘The 10 best
new acts’ in grey in the middle of the black white and red it stands out and is
something the audience want to know. At the bottom of the page it is in bold
block writing ‘CHERYL COLE ROCKS’ which is to inform the readers who is on the
front page. Although they are telling you who it is, the use of a big celebrity
endorsement is so that it encourages fans and people who respect what she has
done in the public eye to buy it. The colour of this writing also works well
with the mid-shot of her. On the left hand side of the magazine you can see
more big named celebrities are featured inside such as snow patrol, muse and 50
cent, this is on the front so if you aren’t necessarily a big fan of the main
article (Cheryl Cole) there is something for everyone.
