Front Cover Analysis 3


This magazine is also specialised in  r&b. Q was first published in October 1986, founded by  Mark Ellen and David Hepworth. The Q magazine has a masthead which uses the colours red and white. The use of red helps to make the magazine more eyecatching. The main cover line is linked to the key image on the magazine which is 'red hot chilli peppers'. The reason the main cover line is big is because it attracts consumers to the magazine. The sell line underneath the 'red hot chilli peppers' has alliteration in it as well as a rhetorical question. This implies that the magazine wants the consumers to think about the question and attract us to the wierd question, which is quite sexual. Many magazines have the sell line 'world exclusive!' and this is now a typical sell line.


Looking at the main image of the four men standing with a mysterious look on their faces , you can see they look quite intense and as some people would say 'crazy'.
