2. What about the magazine appeals to me?
❶ The fist thing about the magazine that interests me is the design. Everything seems
to have it’s place and everything seems to fit together well giving the cover as a whole
a professional, clean ‘polished’ look. Yet Q still manages to keep their house style on
going through out, this also contributes to the well though layout of the magazine.
❷ I also like the colour scheme of the magazine, the reds and blacks seem to work
well together as does all of the added extras to the cover and contents page such as
pictures and features which all fit together.
❸ The articles within the magazine also reflect well to the types of audience and
genre of musical fans reading. Staying true to their style.
❹ The contents page of Q magazine is a double page spread, adding extra detail and a
experimental design to it, making theirs different and more recognizable to them
rather than other magazines, the contents page pays more attention to their features
including pictures and descriptions whereas the regulars just have headlines and small
description text.

4. What about the magazine appeals to me?
❶ The most organised thing about this magazine is the design/layout the masthead
especially, It’s bold and intriguing also the identifier aspect of the NNE gives the
regular readers or even new readers instant identification of the mag.
❷The cover lines of the magazine give a instant idea of what is to be found inside ‘Alt-J
all the info on music’s new big deal’ and ‘Palma Violets behind the scenes on their new
video’ etc, you also from the headline/main story and cover lines get the music genre
of the magazine due to the types of bands being mentioned.
❸ The overall house style of the magazine stays constant through out however the
colour scheme does often vary, yet it doesn’t vary so much so that it’s un recognisable
to the magazines overall exterior style.
❹The content page of NNE magazine is very basic, sticking to a one page spread and
concentrating more on the issues features, compared to the regulars section which
seem to have been thrown into a column of ‘Plus’ articles.

6. What about the magazine appeals to me?
❶The design and layout of the Kerrang magazine is traditional to it’s know style, the
identifier/masthead for example even though it is being slightly covered by the lead
image it can still be recognised, giving it the rock theme look.
❷The magazine has also included some unique selling points such as poster
advertisement on the front for example ‘ 10 epic posters’ as a plug, this helps the
magazine stand out for competing magazines.
❸The cover and headlines also use different font techniques also to intrigue readers
and add something extra making it stand out to other magazine.
❹The use of red and black is evident throughout the magazine as far as colour scheme
goes with the added acceptation of blues, yellows etc used to introduce features.
❺The contents page is again a single page spread using most of it as advertisement
for the feature articles, however also does give noticeable attention to the regulars
with headings and small descriptions.
