Analysing Music Magazine 2

This is another music magazine made by Q Magazine. Inside this magazine you would find things about Lily Allen and also you could read about Ricky Gervais answering questions asked by fans. You will also find things on Maniac Street, Rick Ross, Preachers and Warpaint Tinariwan.

The target audience for this could be people from whom like hearing about UK and American artists. It could also be for people who like Pop music.

The central image is off Lily Allen. In this image she is using a direct mode of address showing a close relationship with the audience.

Lily Allen was on the front cover of the Q Magazine because she is releasing a new album after 5 years from her previous album “Its Not Me Its You.” Her new album will be called Sheezus and features Lady Gaga that is why the anchorage text says “Lily Allen Kicks Off.”

The anchorage text “Lily Allen Kicks Off” tells us that Lily Allen is going to do something big and that will be releasing her new album Sheezus

The artist is giving off a really aggressive and violent message because of the way she is breaking the studio equipment. Her clothing is really sophisticated and classy. The female celebrities are also presented in magazines to look like divas because they dress really classy and sophisticated and also look feisty.

The letter Q is used in this magazine as the title block and it is also the name of the company who made this magazine. The title Q could mean the word queue like you are waiting in a queue or it could mean queue the next song, which relates to the music in the magazine.

Puffs on the sides of the magazine tell us what we will find in the magazine. For example, “Ricky Gervais Answer Your Questions.” This tells us that Ricky Gervais will be answering questions asked by his fans. Also there is a skyline. Skylines are there to show special features inside the magazine. On this magazine the skyline says “Lost Noel Interview. Unseen Photos. Their Greatest Scrap.” This is telling us that there are some exclusive, unseen things inside the magazine about artists that nobody has ever seen before.

There is no slogan.

The lighting used in the image is high key lighting and the font sizes are really big and have really bright and outstanding colours which people will be attracted to because it looks really nice.

People would pick up this magazine because they will see an image of Lily Allen on the cover and because she is famous it would be more convincing to pick up the magazine. People would also pick it up to know more about what is going on with Lily Allen and what she is about to kick off. The final reason for picking up this magazine would be to see what exclusive things are inside the magazine about the Oasis band. People would want to read about the “Lost Noel Interview” and would want to see the exclusive images.
