Q magazine is the biggest music magazine currently available in Britain. Q is also a music channel that plays a verity of music genres.The type of music that Q is associated with is more main recent music, as the magazine advertises it's exclusivity all music and information in likely to be recent and interesting as they are trying to appeal to their target audience. The magazine seems more sophisticated indicating that their target audience is slightly older approaching people in their early twenties and upwards. The typography reflects this as its straight lined and sophisticated. following on from this Madonna is included in the main image which again reflects this idea of main stream sophisticated music, she is also rather old which could mean that the magazine is trying to appeal to a slightly more mature audience. She is looking directly at the camera which means she is trying interact with the audience in order to engage them. Madonna is very famous and is known widely by many people which could add to the magazines exclusivity. Her status also represents conflict as she has been involved with many herself as shes constantly in the media for new scandals, this could be the reason why Q has chosen to use red and black as red stands for danger and passion which could reflect the aspirations of the target audience, similarly black contains an element of darkness and mystery which is also what Madonna could be represented as. The main image is covering the mast head which conforms to the idea that Q is the biggest music magazine in Britian as it must be well established and successful.
