Q magazine cover

The second song i have chosen to study is Q magazine , an indie rock style magazine focusing on the darker , more heavy metal and glamour rock side to the music industry. The mode of language on the cover is very simple yet effective. It sets the tone of the magazine itself by using language such as ' Rocks' and referring to bands such as ' Muse' to create a clear representation of their genre , which i perceive to be most dominatly rock. The model used on the front cover of this magazine is Cheryl cole , cherly is a pop star and is the face of brands and magazine all over the Uk. This strongly attracts readers as Cheryl appeals to man as a sex symbol , and also to women as a succesfull role model. Therefore customers will find it easier to relate and share a stronger relationship with the cover model as both sexe's can aspire to be with her , or like her. The headlines ' Cherly Cole Rocks' and ' Best New acts' attract the reader as the titles allow the magazine to appear new and uptempo. Direct adress is used on the cover as the model used is looking intesnly into the customers eye line , the facial expression appears extremely attractive , therfore allowing the readear to relate and share intimacy with the cover model. The colours used are black and red , sterotypical colours of rock and indie music they may be but due to the contrast between the white placed amongst the black and red , a soft and edgy feel is felt from the cover.
