connotations of
coolness and
perhaps mystery -
‘the man behind
the glasses’.

brothers are front
and centre of the

their importance to
the band.
The camera angle is looking
up to the band members,
presenting them as superior –
which could be a
representation of their wealth
and musical success.

colloquial language
of Manchester.

abandoned their
heritage despite
their fame and
fortune.
The band are taking
up roughly 75% of
the whole magazine
cover, portraying
the power of the
band in the music
industry at the
time.
The quote, ‘Their
greatest interview ever!’
implies the interest in
their fan base in getting
to know more about the
band and of course the
use of propaganda by ‘Q
Magazine’.
The small font used to inform the audience
of other features of the magazine, present
the importance of oasis in the dropping of
their new album.
The specific use of platinum coloured font to read
the band’s name, could reflect the numerous
platinum singles and albums the band has
previously released.
