Q front cover

L _Use of black ,red ,grey and white is obvious of this Q issue ,the masthead is rather large centering the readers attention to the top left of the magazine therefore being able to see Florence aswell ,the main image of her is a long shot ,conveniantly centred to catch the readers attention .The caption to the left of Florence reads 'The 100 greatest front men starring the best new frontwoman' this being Florence.Its ironic that the first bit about the men is in a bolder ,bigger font because its the first thing the reader will see but they will have seen the image of Florence so will be curious as to why she is the cover star for this issue if it is about male frontmen.With a banner headline stating that the issue ensures free music inside the magazine again will capture the readers attention ,and other coverlines around the page link to the main one listing bands featured throughout the magazine .With also a bar code at the bottom of right of the page with the price of 3.99 printed clearly overhead.

I _Q magazine is produced by the Bauer media group and is published monthly.
I _Florence and The Machine are alternative Indie ,showing this issue is directed more toward this genre ,Florence is therefore made to look like a powerful female ,her flame hair contrasts nicely with the use of red and black throughout the front cover ,This issue is dedicated strictly to music as other issues can sometimes focus on not only music ,but sport ,comedy ,films and politics also.

A _I think the main audience for this issue is youung teenagers upto young adults ,i also think it targets more of a female audience over the male audience because of the use of Florence as the cover star.

R _The representation of Florence is that she is a typical female music role model ,she is young ,powerful and has the ability to influence todays music this is shown in her stance and pose ,it shows shes in charge and doesn't mess about .
