Analysis of a front cover of a magazine

 The cover I have chosen to analyse is an issue of Q Magazine, which is from October 2010.

The image represent different audiences as it promimently features different artists from various genres (Jay-Z - rap, Lady Gaga - pop and Dave Grohl - rock)
All three of them are very influential in their respective genres

Articles on the three cover stars advertised with quotes -->        

The price of the magazine is £3.99, as it is a well known magazine with a lot of content in it supposed to last a whole month.

The font choice attracts buyers due it being iconic, with the magazine keeping it largely the same for a long time.

Looking at this magazine informs my choices for my own magazine by:

• I'll try and reach out to bigger audiences and not just focus on one
• Use a style and font recognisable but not so much it'll be considered plagarism
• Have a quote from articles
