Conclusions/Justification
Q is a popular music magazine published monthly in the United
Kingdom. Q was founded in 1986 by Mark Ellen and David
Hepworth. This particular magazine focuses on alternative
music. The imagery on this magazine, of the posture and
positioning of her hands and face represent a very pure image
of her as a musician within her genre of music. This may appeal
to many audiences of people such as young minds and they are
more likely to connect with her line of work, the use of the
generic colours show that this magazine is for both males and
females, through these colours combined with the pose of the
image it may appeal to men due to the image appearing more
sexually attractive but can also appeal to women who would
like to look attractive also.

Conclusions/Justification:
Billboard is an American music magazine first published in
1894. It started specialising in the music industry in the
1950’s. It’s recognised for highlighting the talents of many
genres of music, such as pop and RnB. On this particular
magazine, there are uses of masculine colours and
idealised stereotypes of what a man would have for
example tattoos. This appeals to men and women as it is a
edesque structure of what magazines should include to
feature men and women's needs and desires. The male
image may appeal to women as they might find him
sexually attractive, but can also appeal to men as they may
envy his facial hair and tattoos.
