Brief: To design a front cover, conents page and double page spread of a new music magazine. All images and text used must be original, a minimum of four images must be used.
I think that this magazine intends to show the audience that you should buy this magazine and promote Ed Sheeran because the main image is about Ed Sheeran. They do this by making the colours stand out off the page, for example the red is very eye catching because the magazine doesn't have any other bright colours. I think they did this because it makes the red seem very powerful and stands out from the page. I think that this magazine is also trying to promote the music industry because it has a different artist appear on the cover every week. This will promote the artist but also the artist will promote the magazine.
Institution:
The founders for Q magazine are Mark Ellen and David Hepworth, they felt that they could improve. Q was first published by EMAP media in 1986. They improved the music magazine by printing better quality of pictures and print. In 2008 EMAP sold its consumer magazine titles to Bauer Media Group.
Q magazine is not the only brand that Q has, they also had a TV channel that closed in 2012. Q also still holds a yearly awards ceremony called the Q awards.
Audience:
The target market for Q magazine is mainly 18-30 year olds. I think this is because they promote a lot of young artist for the the younger audience (18 year olds) like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. However they still promote a lot of older artist that 30 years olds can enjoy.
Represention: The person that appears that appears in this magazine is Ed Sheeran. He is portrayed in this with a guitar, this is his signature item and one of the things that you first thing of when you thing of him. I think that he is portrayed as an everyday person, for example his messed up hair and a plain jacket, he is not portrayed as a normal celebrity.
