Definition: Often seen in newsletters and magazines, the kicker is a short phrase found set above the headline. Usually set in a smaller type than the headline, the kicker can serve as an introduction or as a type of section heading to identify a regular column, for instance.
This is a quote taken directly from the interview and used to draw audiences in

Some ideas
House style represented through colours Different to normal issues of Q due to the destruction
of the mast head The smashing of the masthead suggests that the artist
is someone who may like to break conventions and does not like restrictions within their music
Reliance on the selling logo to suggest to the audience that this is a magazine they should by as it is the best one
In terms of mode of address the artist is not looking at the audience, Q is his main goal
The pull quote is interesting and mysterious and therefore pulls the reader in, wanting to know more.

Subverting conventions without the backward s
Strapline (Advertising line ) U.S.P- Unique selling point Language and register Mode of address Photos and how they create meaning

Language and register
This is the language that is used within the magazine and can often be genre specific.
This will deal with things like slang and informal language which may be used to make the reader feel that the magazine is in a sense a friend.
The register is the tone with which the magazine is talking to its audience. This can be informal, chatty etc

Photos Iconography
•What messages do the pictures give?
•What impression is the audience meant to have?
•What is the camera angle and how does this create meaning?
•What is the tone of the facial expression?
•How does costume add to the meaning which is created?
