The masthead

is the same as

the other Q

magazines

because it is a

familiar symbol

to the readers.

It is at an eye

catching size

and position of

the page. Also

the harsh red

colour against a

lighter

background

makes it more

appealing to Q

readers.

The selling

line is to

promote what

the magazine

is intending to

engage the

reader in. In

this issue , the

reader is

aware its all

about ‘great’

music .

The pull quote

on this page is

to tell the

reader what

the main story

is about , and

also to promote

the magazine

to the reader.

This button is used to attract the readers eye as

well as display one of the main stories featured

within this issue of the magazine.

The cut out

image is

layered

beneath the

masthead but

above the

button on the

right . instead

of angle of

gaze , Q have

embedded an

image to the

glasses of the

artist to

create and

extra depth

to the photo

as it were an

illusion.

The colour

scheme used in

this cover

follows the

conventional

colour scheme

of a Q magazine

of red, white

and black.
