Planning-music magazine-Q magazine cover.

This is the front cover from Q magazine, it is a monthly magazine, but also has special subscriber editions as well.

The color scheme used on this front cover is very simply, the red, green, black and white colour scheme used, is very effective. There is one back ground, block colour used, this makes the magazine logo stand out, and also the main image, it is a good way of making the image stand out, this is good as it enables us to easily know what band is the main featurein this edition.

The logo is red, this is a contrasting colour to the background, this is good as it makes the logo stand out, this enables us to easily see the magazine name. The font used for the magazine title is very simple, this is good as it makes the letter "Q" stand out, the font it also very large and in capitals, this again makes the logo stand out. The fon used for the subscribers only text is in capitals this makes it stand out and draws our attention to the mesage, i think the choice of white writing was not a very good idea, as it makes it harder to read, this is not very good as you cant read what it says very well.

The picture used on this magazine is a picture, from a mid shot from a low angle of green day,This is a good shot to use for the cover, as it is well framed you are easily able to see each band member, this is good as you can easily tell who the magazine is about. The main singer of the band is at the front of the shot, this shows his predominance and importance. This is a good picture to use as you can easily see who the magazine is about.

The target audience for Q magazine can change slightly by who the cover stars are, i think for this edition it could depend, it would be suitable for both men and women that are a range of different ages. I think for this issue it would be suitable for men and women, at a range of diffrent ages.
