Review: Q Magazine

As well as doing a video review I have decided to analyse Q magazine myself. Althought my magazine isnt aimed at the same target audience as Q i like some of the features the magazine had used. I like that on the front cover Florence has direct eye contact. This will draw redaers in becasuse she may be interacting on a personal level inside. Becuase of this i have decided to make sure that the main photo i use for my front cover the artist i use is looking directing at the camera.

Q magazine have also followed the same style as top of the pops by having more then one image on the contents page. I like the way that the page numbers are the same as the titile of the magazine with the red box. This is good branding because customers will know before they even see the front cover what magazine it is. They also have good branding by having the q title on the conrner of each page, this is so readers will know what magaine they are reading and will constantly being reminded.

I dont like the way this double page spread has been laid out, this is because 3/4 of the page are images.  Although the images used are significant to the article, due to her wearing all in black and her red hair standing out, showing her indivuality i believe it would be better if the images didnt take up as much room

I like the way this double page spread has been laid out, due to all the photos are at the top and all the text at the bottom. However as my magazine is a pop magazine this layout may not work. When i start making my double page spread i will try out this style to see if it fits the genre and if it is unsucessful l i will try something else.
