1. Q Magazine was originally named Cue (as in the sense of cueing a record, ready to play). The term has been adapted to this music magazine, as if to say this magazine prepares and is ready to give you the information you want instantly. However on a less analytic note, the letter Q is bold, simple, straight to the point, and most importantly, its memorable, because it is a less used letter in the alphabet.Date/Price/Bar-CodeAll this information is an essential part of a product such as a magazine. It informs readers or how recent the issue was, and how big of an injection of cash it will cost them. Also the bar-code allowing for the product to be scanned and most importantly sold to make a profit. This issue was published in February 2010 pricing and £5.90. These two parts of information determine how many people will purchase it and what type of people will purchase it. As readers will usually only purchase up-to-date information and in this economic climate customers are influenced by the prices of products.The cover of every issue and this one also, promotes several articles that are inside this issue. Tempting the potential customers to buy the magazine. Almost as if to tease them with a taste of the celebrity orientated stories, persuading them that the only way to read latest and most up to date new is to buy the magazine. All of the artists names have been capitalised to emphasise their importance within the magazine, and also Reversed-out-Text has been used, white background with black coloured font. To raise the artists names off the page. Highlighting their significance to the readers. As if they are more important than the issue itself and it sells itself through celebrity endorsement. Men are seen to be the greater sex, the stronger more dominant player in society. However such woman as Cheryl Cole are dominant within the Hollywood lifestyle. Allowing Cheryl to be as strong as figure as men in general. The fact that Cheryl is posing in a sexual manner is almost saying to the male readers “your masculine enough to be seduced by Cheryl Cole”. An ambitious thought for any man that is almost guaranteed by the front cover allowing any male buyer to feel superior and dominant. Reinstating the stereotypes of males being dominant.IdeologyA ‘glam’ rock jacket has been used to enhance the ‘rock’ theme prominent throughout this issue. Rock is usually associated with males, because of the masculine and strong connotations it gives off. Her makeup is bold, her lips being the centrefold of attention. Which is a prime attraction on a woman. Reinforcing her sexual image. This brings men what they would naturally expect to see of her. The ring prop used is very fierce. The shape and material of it blends to the rock theme, however sex and violence are said to go hand in hand. And with the sexuality of this cover being prominent, its almost as if it has been used in sexual manner itself, whilst also blending to the rock, gothic theme.CostumeCheryl Cole is the cover star for the latest issue of Q Magazine. Her immense recent popularity will definitely attract male customers and boost the magazines popularity for featuring such Calibres of celebrity. Cheryl Cole being known as the nations sweetheart, grabbing male readers with her astonishing looks and her provocative pose teasing males into spending their own money on the magazine. Furthermore this issue contains a vampire theme. Vampires are seen as sexy, therefore Cheryl has been used to reflect this.Q Magazine Media Analysis The magazines genre covers Rock music. Colours are reds and blacks; the theme is that of a vampire image. And the most evident part of the magazine that reflect its genre are the Artist’s names featured on the front cover. Artists such as “The Whites Stripes” and “U2” are both rock bands. Also the actual genre is played with as a common saying used by rock fan. Cheryl Cole “Rocks”. There is an example of Body Text used with the when “ROCKS” is used, made to be much bigger as everything else. Firstly to highlight the genre of the music, and two to highlight the popularity of the celebrity used as a cover artist. Popularity of the content inside the issue determines the profit made. The text is the biggest size of all of the content, and continues the red theme present throughout the magazine.CoverlinesMastheadBody TextCover StarGenreRepresentationAudience-3511228-1851949 The audience for Q Magazine and this Issue’s audience is likely to be that of a male 17 to 25 year old audience. The reason being as the content on the magazine is very sexual. With Cheryl Cole in a provocative pose. The colours shout such themes as vampires, and horror, usually those two themes themselves attracted a male majority audience. With the blacks giving off connotations of vampires and reds used that reflects such themes as blood and aggression. Again a stereotype men usually behold. And happen to be attracted to. Overall the design of this issue is very bold, forcing itself to be in your line of sight Just because glamorous female such as Cheryl Cole stars the front of the Issue it doesn’t mean the magazine is a representative of femininity. In fact it’s quite the opposite, Cheryl has been represented as quite a provocative sexy character on this photo. Almost seducing the readers, instantly men will be tempted to buy this issue. Usually on a feminine magazine Cheryl will appear glamorous, almost princess like, whereas on this a different image is portrayed, a more masculine dominant image,7714041192192<br />
