Second: Music magazine deconstruction

This magazine is a different type and brand compared to the other one which was "VIBE", this one is called "Q" and it's more a rock type magazine. We get this impression straight away because we can see key headlines like Foo fighters, biffy clyro and arctic monkeys and they're all type of rock bands. The audience of this magazine would mainly be anybody that likes rock music.

From the picture, we can see it's in a close up shot of a man opening his month, inside is him and his band. Firstly its a close up just so they can see more of the month to fit the people in it. I also believe that is shows that the music is allot more about passion and  it shows they just want to play music from the heart. This also shows that anybody can play music and it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like. He is representing the people involved within music and the people in this month especially.

The fire used in his month connotates that he could have a firey personailty and it's shown in his music. It is also used to make us look right into his month where his band members can be found. This also links up with the headling "THIS WILLL KILL ME" meaning that if anybody had fire in them it would literally kill them but it's just how the person feels about music. Music in his eyes in something to die for and he will happily.

As we can see in the top right hand corner there's a circle which has the words " FREE!", as a reader will see this striaght away they read on and getting people's attention is half the battle of selling a magazine. Having free stuff in  magazines always helps to increase sales and make the magazine more popular so for my magazine i will do this.

The colours that are used in this front cover gives a massive impact towards it's audience. The colours that are used are white, red,  gold and black. These are all well choosen colours as most of the people that are into this type of music usuaslly wear them type of colours and it draws the reader in. In my opinion it also makes the picture stand out more. This decontates that this "Q" magazine will always use these colours so it's easier for their audience to find in the future.

The left side thrid in this magazine front cover has the most words and information of which you can expect to be found inside the magazine. There are names being shouted out in your face, so if you like them you will be allot more interested in the magazine. They also do a variety of bands such as Biffy Clyro and the foo fighters they play the same kind of music however they are completely different types of people and bands so it gives a bigger audience again without one hating the other.
