1. Task 4
Target Audience Appeal
The target audience is young adults around
the age of 16-35 who like any genre of music.
The magazine hasn’t got a specific genre as
this means more of a wide range of people
would purchase it. The font that has been
used on this front cover is serif, this font has a
youthful look to it which works well as the
magazine is targeted at younger people. The
font looks as though it has been write which
gives a young impression. The masthead is
covered by the head of the artist, this is
because the magazine is well known that
people know what the magazine is called so
the image takes priority. These colours that
have been used on this cover are quite neon
bright colours which the artist’s music genre
of pop/ rap music. The image of this artist is
serious and the use of the sunglasses gives a mysterious, shady appearance.
This magazine content page is relevant to
the young adult target audience as it
contains images of young artists such as the
large photo of Lana Del Rey. The content
also uses the typical ‘Q’ magazine colours of
red and white. The content of this page also
uses artist such as Professor Green and
Kings of Leon, who are both young adults,
which links to the target audience of young
adults. This content page is informal as it
uses rhetorical questions and the use of bad
language. The use of the informal text
associates with young people.

2. This double page spread links to it’s specific target audience by the use of this article about
Lady Gaga, as she is young herself and he music has a younger target audience too. The
language used is informal, this relates to the younger generation of young adults. The use of
the large kicker ‘L’ is associated with the name Lady Gaga as the first letter of her stage
name is ‘L’. The colour of this kicker is the same as the magazines logo. The image gives a
youthful look by the way she is hardly wearing clothes and the relaxed body language. With
the image being in black and white, the whole double page spread only consists of three
colours, red, white and black which are the typical ‘Q’ colours.
