Q magazine, much like NME is a music magazine that includes a majority of music variety from different genres. So this magazine could appeal to anyone at any point. The big Q logo is always the same, always set in the same place, the top left hand corner. The logo seems to take up a lot of the front cover. The front cover images fills up the whole page, it is very colourful and is hard to make out the singer, Chris Martin. His trousers seem to blend in with the darker parts of the background. All of the text on the cover appear in either white or yellow, these are both fresh colours that stand out and contrast the dull and dark. Two of the coverlines have used numbers within them, which indicates there maybe charts of lists found within the magazine. Along the bottom of the cover, a small almost tagline appears with the names of the acts or bands that appear in the magazine. The small plus before the text indicates added more, or also included.
This is the contents page taken from an issue of Q magazine. Once agin this contents page only features 3 or 4 colours; red, white, black and grey. Most of the text is black and in a small font size, making it hard to read. The heading article types have been used again here too with; features and every month. One main big image appears on the contents page of a band or act that must feature highly within. There is also a small section where all the reviews of gigs or acts have been placed neatly into a box, so they can easily stand out amongst the other article stories. The layout is set out in boxes that all fit together to keep it neat and so everything similar is kept together.
