The overall message that this Q magazine is giving is that the style of music is more sophisticated and mature but it still has ‘swagger’. This magazine cover is informing the audience of ‘the ten most exciting people’ in music industry now, persuading them to continue to listen to the following artist’s music Lady Gaga, Jay-z and Dave Grohl.
The words ‘Exclusive’ and ‘exciting’ are written in bright bold capital letters to pull the audience’s attention, as it is in a different colour to the other words written on the front cover.
The title block is on a red background and the letter ‘Q’ is written in white so that it make it more appealing to the eye, it’s also very simple and sophisticated which links back to the classy target audience.
The neon coloured puffs are marginalized to make the main image stand out as it surrounds the cropped images.
