1. Other stories featured at the bottom in a tag line. This is so people can see bands which are mentioned in the issue. The pug appeals and pops out to the readers with contrast of colours, showing a recent break up of one of Britain's biggest band. Yellow tag line stands out due to the sharp colour to direct readers to the Glastonbury tag line. Bold, primary colours allows the title to come out of the page. Headlines create a border around the image of ‘The Wombats’. Makes them the main image of the cover. The image of the wombats in diagonal line of faces is in the readers line of sight. The whacky image of ‘The Wombats’ represents the style of the band.

2. Putting the masthead behind the medium close up image shows the confidence and popularity of the magazine yet also allows the reader to see the full image of the person featured. Putting the masthead behind the image is very common for ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine. The colours in the ‘Rolling Stone’ front cover reoccurs through many of the covers, the primary colours are also very basic but contrast with the white back ground which allows the headlines to stand out. The medium close up shows the majority of Amy Winehouse’s Tattoos. It also shows her beehive hair which she was known for. She is looking directly into the camera which makes the reader feel more personal and almost in touch with Amy Winehouse. Shows the tours as subheadings so people can see if their favourite band is included in the magazine.

3. The change of the common ‘Q’ logo shows the special edition before reading the text around it. The image of ‘Liam Gallagher’ and ‘Noel Gallagher’ touching heads shows the brotherly bond between the Gallagher brothers. Both of them wearing glasses shows the similarities between the brothers. The simplicity of the magazine gives it a great effect and allows the white headings to stand out. The simple, basic colour scheme gives the magazine a mature feel. This appeals to the older generation of the ‘OASIS’ fans. The red logo of Q contrasts with the other colours which almost allows the logo to jump off the page.
