The magazine is called Q and focuses mainly on music. It stands out by featuring a single letter Q in its title on a red background. The 300th issue cover highlights this milestone with a gold medal. The Adele cover draws readers in with her serious facial expression and hair blown back, making her image the main visual focus that overlaps the title for a 3D effect.

image is the main focus of the cover, although it is very different from rhythm
and NME as they are both full and the focus is the whole cover not just the
image so it is laid back slightly more, and there are a lot more words.

the cover include the title which is on a red background which stands out, a
300th addition gold 'medal' and some information about what’s inside which
again reflects the target audience as teenager targeted magazines are full
with information and are really over the top.
