Q Magazine

The Q music magazine has many conventions which relates them all in a certain significant way. For example the main image dominates the majority of the front cover in an effective way; as this creates a relationship with the band or artist on the front cover, this is because they are always giving the audience eye contact. Also the artist is always well known because it will attract the audience to buy the magazine and read about what the artist is up too in the music industry. The main image is usually either a medium shot or a medium close up as the audience will be able to identify the artist/band easily on the front cover. They are also many subtitles across the page in a big and bold font, they mostly state other artists that are in the magazines, for example if madonna isn't really liked by some people then the artic monkeys sub content might grab their attention and persuade them to buy. The sub contents are also in the colour of the Q magazines logo (red and white). The barcode consists of the price of the magazine and the date it is released to the public.
