Although I can't use the pictures I have used in the final copy, I used them because I wanted to get an idea of what it would look like in the rough draft.

Contents page analysis
I have chosen Hip hop as my music genre. As you can see from my contents page i have used various pictures linking in with Hip hop. I think this makes my magazine look more street as the pictures and text represent rappers from 'the hood'.

Q
I am going to analyse and answer the following questions for the magazine i chose:
Q music
Why is it called Q?
It is called Q because the founders wanted the magazine to sound like cueing a record, ready to play.
What are the significant words?
The significant words are 'discover great music' if this weren't in the title then people may get confused weather it is a music magazine or not.
Also the word florence is a significant word because it backs up the picture of her. Also makes the viewers interested in the magazine as she is a famous singer.
Lastly the word 'GIG' is pretty significant as it is in big bold letters indicating that there is more information inside. I also think that it was important to mention Zane Lowe's name on the front cover as he is a famous DJ from radio 1.
What connotations do they have?
On the front cover the letter Q is surrounded by a lot of red, this to me symbolises passion it also links in with the picture.
What type of reader is it targeting?
I think that the magazine is targeting young adult aged 12-17. I think this is the target audience because there are pictures of famous celebrities inside and on the front cover. Also this stand out to the younger generation as this what their age group is into.
How does the reader 'interact' with the magazine?
The reader will interact with the magazine by looking at the front cover, if they like florence and the machine then they will probably buy it. Also they will look in it at the competition such as other artists they are interested in. For example in Q magazine they have pictures and information about artists like Dappy, jessie j e.t.c.
Also they may go to the advertisements and check out whats being advertised. For example in Q magazine they advertise what concerts are going on and how to book tickets.
Analyse the images on the cover, the types of facial expressions, body language, clothing and so on.
On the magazine there is only one picture. However it covers the whole page which draws attention to the magazine.
This tells us that the target audience is interested in florence and the machine and the latest update of celebrity life. i also think that females would be more interested in this magazine then males as it appeals more to females. The title is in the top left corner of the front cover and stands out clearly. This again draws in viewers as they may want to find out what kind of magazine it is.
