Page 1: Content page reviews

The audience of this magazine is for both male and female aged 16 above and who are into music of any kind.

The name o the magazine Q is very simple and easy to remember. It is also very easy to say making it a very effective as a magazine name. there are not any semiotics for this name because it is a word its just letter making it difficult to know what it means.

The image used on in Q’s contents page is very impactful as the way he is staring directly into the camera a engages the audience. The image is not to powerful that it draws you away from the pages main use telling you what in the magazine. The image could be seen as him trying to gain dominance as he is looking serious and angry as his arms are out to his side.

The layout used follows a simple genre convention with the list of articles down the left to make it easy to find and simple to read. It also has the magazine logo at the top left of the screen, also the title “content” is bold at the top of the page to make it easy to see. Issue number can be found next to the logo in big number which is a bit different as it is normally found by the barcode.

The fonts used in the content page are very simple and not fancy at all so they easy to read. The title is in a bold black font hitting g you as soon as you turn the page making it unmissbale. The font used to the text is a perfect size not to big that it look stupid but not to small that its unreadable.

The colours used are white ,black and red contrasting with each other making everything stand out from each other. This make it ;look modern and something which kids wouldn't read as it look sophisticated.

I don’t know what the masthead of this magazine is.

The audience of this magazine is for people aged 13 above for both male and female. This is because it look like a sophisticated magazine and not something young people would read.

The image used is of 2 girls with there hands on their hips this could suggest the are dominate and are strong. The way they look into the lens can also suggest this. What they are wearing is Very sexual this can suggest also that it is not a children's magazine.

The layout of the contents page is very different as the majority of the page is taken up by a giant picture. With just a tiny bit of writing down the left hand side. The masthead is in the top left corner and is layed out a bit different with “co” Nten” “ts” on different lines this makes it stand out from the rest.

The fonts which are used a plain and simple. The sub headings are in a fancy style which appeals more to the older audience but can be easily seen and read. This makes it allot easier to read the page numbers below. The heading is in a bold and clear font which makes it easy to read and understand what the page is about.

The colours which are used are very plain as its just a white background with black font for the writing. This is so the picture can stand out of the page. Also so its easy to read the text.
