11. Genre
Generally speaking, Q magazine covers everything going on in the music world. For instance,
the latest Q talks about the ‘epic return of queens stone age’ and has a link to an article on
the Q website. On the same site, there is another article talking about the ‘heavy heavy’
story behind the N.W. A biopic. Obviously this is a huge difference between audiences, it
really ranges. From writing on the ‘epic return of queens of the stone age’ to talking about
an argument which happened years ago between a rappers that not many people really care
too much about anymore as it is old news. Many other music magazines would stick to one
genre, but Q has a range of genres, which means that they have a wider target audience and
consumer base so may make a higher profit.

Hard copy magazine (august 18th 2014)
Each issue of Q include many
different genres, from rap to rock,
which both cover the same age
range really (13-30) yet, generally
the people who listen to these
kinds of music are completely
different so it even attracts a
variety in a particular age range.
12. Technological Convergence
Technological convergence is making
something accessible through multiple
different devices so it can access a wider
audience, this also cuts down the price it costs
to print hard copy’s of the magazine.
Q have a synergy with multiple social networks
as they know that their main target audience
uses social media and rarely watch’s TV, so
they have accounts on multiple platforms.
Social media platform Amount of people
Facebook likes 137,913

Instagram followers 17.4k
YouTube subscribers 4,382

13. Form and style
Q’s front pages on most of their magazines mainly consist of Red, Black and White.
Generally it has the main star who is featuring in the copy front and center with a
white background with either a Black Q or a White Q on the red background (which is
their normal logo. But it is always towards the top left of the page. Steve Neale in 1980
said that magazines repeat form and style (Q does this)
Q magazine is approximately 30.6 x 22.2 x 1.2 cm, which is around the size of a
magazine, however the dimensions on devices vary dependent on what device you
are using.
Throughout the entire magazine, Q is rather consistent with font, color scheme etc.
this make the magazine come across as more professional as it doesn't’t look like it is a
complete mess, it has order to it.
14. Content of media product
Q magazines contents include mainly articles, news and interviews from people within the music
industry as well as covering reviews of newly released pieces of media. Q magazine will normally
have their main artist on the front cover as they are the ones who will attract the most attention.
For instance on this front cover of Q, the main image is of Kanye West with his name as the main
headline. This is because he is their main feature so deserves to cover the majority of the front
cover of that issue. The front cover will also include cover lines, these are other people who feature
in the magazine but may not be as prominent in the magazine as the main feature. These allow fans
to gain an idea of what the magazine features and if their favorite artist features. This inclines the
audience to buy the magazine.

products you
are looking athttp://www.bauermedia.co.uk/brands
Bauer produce many
magazines, such as Q and
Mojo as seen above. They
have build up quite a loyal fan
base that many people buy
every issue.
Bauer produce few Television
programmes such as Kiss and
4music. They do not make
much from this as the
channels are not as popular as
their magazines or digital
products for instance.
Bauer have Radio stations
such as ‘gem’ and Kiss. Since
many people are exposed to
radio (on their commute for
example) may make people
start to recognise these more
and thus be more inclined to
purchase a product that Bauer
produce as it would be in a
similar format.
Due to the technological
advancements, Bauer has
noticed the trend of
phones being used for
everything, so they have
started to create digital
versions of their magazines
for instance. People will
pay online for a
subscription, which means
your brand is more out
there and you are making
money

17. Content page analysis
Main image of the star attract readers.
This image dominates the entire
contents page, a page in which
everyone looks at and uses, so by
putting a star on the page, a wide
audience is attracted
Masthead, tells that this is the
contents page, where the reader
can see everything in the
magazine is, according to
Maslow, this keeps the survivors
happy, as it tells them where
everything is and they can expect
a contents page in every issue.
Sub-headings, tell the reader what
else the magazine includes, so the
reader can find something they are
interested in and go straight to that
page. This is very helpful to the
readers that but the issue for one
article or interview in particular.
Sub-line, goes into more detail under
the Sub-heading, this picks up the
readers interest. According to Katz, this
helps the Personal relationship, since
they build up an admiration for the
subject of the interview
Web address, has more features than the magazine, putting it on the contents page
makes more people aware of it and more likely to use it. This is because they may
not have known of the website before, they can get more features on the website,
that benefits Q as they get more activity on their site.
Q magazine also include the
month and year that the issue is
released. For example this issue
was released in March 2011

21. Production Process
Dates of
publication
The first thing in which
you must do is set up a
date of publication. The
date of publication is
simple the date that you
are trying to get you
magazine release by as a
finished product, making
it available to the
general public. Once this
date has been agreed
on, you now have a
schedule to run on, the
schedule is your plan on
how you are going to be
able to meet your date
of publication. Proper
management of the
schedule is vital to
meeting your date of
publication.
Managing the
schedule
This step is of high
importance. As if you
want your magazine to
be produced
successfully, and meet
the date of publication,
it is vital that the
schedule is managed
well. Your schedule
should be made in a way
so that there are
provisions for certain
mistakes so that even
when mistakes happen,
you will still be able to
meet the date of
publication you had set
previously. This is why a
good management of
the schedule is
absolutely vital.
Editorial and
budgets
The editorial decisions
mainly involve the
magazines editorial
teams getting together
and deciding amongst
themselves what topics
they want to include in
the coming up issue of
the magazine they are
working for. Essentially,
the editorial team talks
about multiple content
stories, interviews,
photographs, etc that
will be in the coming
issue. There is also a
budget to this, which
will mostly be spent
towards the production
of the magazine,
interviews for example.
Content
acquisitions
The content acquisition
process is the most
important step, as
without any content, the
magazine wouldn't’t
work at all since it would
be empty. Thus, content
is the most important.
There are 2 major ways
in which content can be
gained for a magazine.
Firstly, in-house staff
writers. Secondly,
though external writers
(who earn commission)
to write on topics that
are specialist in nature.
At this stage, artwork
and graphics are also
being worked on to
speed up the total
production process.

22. Production process continued
Sub-editing
Sub-editing focuses on
one major thing, which
is how good the quality
of the magazine is. If
there us no sub-editor,
they editor will do this
job. This step involves:
Checking accuracy of
facts
Making sure words are
spelt correctly
Checking grammar/
punctuation

correct house style
Working on page layout
Page Layout
In big publications, there
is a special team who
are responsible for page
layouts, they’re called
they layout staff. There
job is essentially to
typeset and layout the
various pages that come
together, to make the
magazine. In performing
this task, they use a
powerful DTP program,
for example InDesign or
PageMaker to get their
job done to a high
standard. This is also the
time that adverts are
placed in the magazine.
Proofreading
Once the Page Layout
has been completed, the
next stage is
proofreading. The
editing department will
print a copy of the
magazine for the
purpose to be read
through carefully to find
any spelling errors or
grammar mistakes. After
this mistake is found, it
is quickly corrected by
the DTP file. The
magazine is proof read
until everyone is happy
and satisfied with the
copy and are sure there
are no mistakes.
Distribution
Lastly, the final stage is
distribution, where the
magazines, after being
printed are boxed and
distributed to the
retailers who sell the
copy to the general
public.
