Q magazine analysis

 

The kicker is about Noel galliger and they have made the title seem funny due to the fact of them covering the words around his head and then making the head line ‘what’s in Noel’s head now?’ they have also made the word Noel is bigger and also has different colour to the other words to emphasize his importance to the magazine and that he is the main person. The tagline is the same on every ‘Q’ magazine and it is ‘the world’s greatest music magazine’ this engages the reader because they will think it’s the greatest magazine and want to but this one instead of other ones. At the bottom they use the same colour scheme as they do got the logo which keeps the customers thinking about the company, but then they change the colours for other secondary labels. Tag line is used again to talk about the stories of the The Who as they say it’s the ‘Greatest stories’. The master head is the logo of the magazine ‘Q’ which is nice and big so customers can always find the magazine and know who is magazine is by.

 

Lots of images used to help grab the reader’s attention and to make them look at the main articles. Large title with the logo as well to push the magazine into your mind. Use of ‘The Who’s’ colours to grab the attention and also to link with the page and information. Use of box to group the information into and also to make separate from the rest as could be seen as more important. Large font size for the numbers and also in colourful boxes to grab reader’s attention.

Stand first is used at the beginning of another piece of text grabbing the reader in. this is talking about Noel’s views on digital download this in no way relates to the large pieces of text in this double page. The layout of this double page spread is quite simple, it uses the same basic colour scheme of the magazine (red, black and white) but then incorporates ‘the Who’s’ as well it’s a nice way to draw people in. As we can see they have used drop capital twice in this double page spread, this is used to separate the two different pieces of information. We see four different medium shots used in this image all relating back to parts in the text, giving the reader some time away from all the writing and also so help the reader visualise what is being said.
