Task 2- Additional Case Studies- Magazine review: Q

For this magazine front cover the masthead was also the largest font as the name of the magazine is only one letter they had to make sure that the name was seen by the audience. The main cover line is also in a really big font and it overlaps the main image in the cover page this shows that the main story is about 'Madonna'. The main image for this magazine is of the famous artist Madonna and her body is facing towards the left hand side but her face is facing towards the audience and she is making direct eye contact with the audience, in similarity the magazine VIBE there image of Nicki Minaj was was direct eye contract with the audience. For this magazine the main colour scheme is red, black and white, the same is with the magazine VIBE and there are only three main colours. On the front cover it also says that there is a free '70-PAGE SPECIAL WOMEN IN MUSIC' and it gives some names of women artist that are in that 70 page book they magazine is giving for free, eveyone likes when there are some freebies and this automatically makes the person want to buy the magazine. There are also some bold writings for the main information. The barcode for this magazine is on the middle right hand side. On the other hand the barcode for the magazine VIBE is on the bottom left hand side with the price. 

The content page for this magazine is also very simple to read and understand and it is listed in numbers and they are in chronological order. There are also some images with numbers which show the main storys and informations. For the content page the information is also put in categories, they are: features, women in music, every month and Q review. These categories are based on what the story they have used, for example for the Q review they write about the music based information.

  1. Again, you need to look at a DPS. This is quite brief. Think about colour scheme, how the front cover reflects the contents page, and which elements inspire you for your own magazine. What evidence is there of genre for example? Analyse images in the contents page. For both magazines, you need to look at the press packs and find out who the publishers are. Vanessa
