Annalysing the contents page of 'Q' magazine

• the contents page uses the same colours as the front cover, and therefore they both follow similar codes and conventions
• the logo is poistioned in the same location on both pages
• this page is split into 3 columns like the front page
• the layout appears to look fresh, organised and sophisticated, which relates to the codes and conventions of the magazine genre
• the image is different, these artists represent more of rock music than pop, which Madonna portayed on the front page. However the wide variety of artists used from different genres of music, again follow the codes and conventions of the 'q' magazine. This is because the 'Q' magazine consists of a wide range of genres including: pop and rock.

Annalysing the front cover of 'Q' magazine

GENRE:

• This music magazine is assosiated with many genres
• this type of magazine is the largest music magazine available in the country
• there is also a television channel called 'q', which plays a wide range of genres

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• the magaizne approaches later teenagers and young adults because the layout is sophisticated, an dtherefore suitable for teh target audience
  

IMAGE:

• the main image is of a medium close of Madonna, which means that the magazine editors are appealing to more of a mature audience as well as older teens, she is looking directly at the audience, which means she is trying to address the audience
• the image is merged into the cover to relate with the conventions of the magaizne
• the following colours are used: black, red and white to attract the audience as the colours are eye-catching
• the good use of colours also relate to women as women favour lots of colours
  
• the mise en scene is plain black, which contrasts well with red and white.
• The mise-en-scene shows that Madonna is wearing a hooded top and rather funky glove, which again suggests that the target audience is later teens

TYPOGRAPHY:

• the use of the straplines suggests that the magaizne is very popular and consists of a wide range of music genres due to a range of different famous people being interviewed
• the text is bold and sophisticated to relate to the genre and target audience
• the masthead is parly covered by the image, this demonstrates that the audience are expected to know the name of the magzine becasue its so well established and successful
