Q magazines target audience is much wider then the other magainzes that I have analysed, it appeals to both males and females of ages around 17 through to 40. the articles featured in the magazines feature much older celebrities and use much more sophisticated language. The image takes up about 75% of the cover and is in black and white which is a risk that more modern less established magaines cannot afford to take, this is because audiences find colour images appealing and are more inclined to buy them. In the top right hand corner the words “booze, burgers, oral sex” are featured this article is more targeted to males as they are stereotypically associated with these three things. The only bold colour used is on the title of the magazine which makes it stand out and means that audiences can associate with the name quicker. The important sections of text are written in a gold colour wich again emphasises the sophisticated tone that they are trying to convey. The fonts used are all different which allows the reader to easily separate different articles. The cover features no other image which means that the cover image must be a strong and powerful one, and that the articles must be based around these two performers, this is something which only a magazine that people are aware of could “pull off”, a more modern magazine would need to feature many articles to create a standard that readers expect.
