Name: Q
Issue number: 192 November 2002
The conetents of the front cover of Q magazine include a lot of media language, such as the mast head, which is placed in the top left corner of the page, it is red and white which is a convention of music magazines. They tend to feature a lot of black, white and red. Also it includes the month and year the magazine came out and the price, this is located under the masthead which is also the magazine's name. Magazine's mastheads usually tend to be the name of the magazine. Also it uncludes a barcode, which is on the bottom right corner. The magazine front cover also includes a main image of a band which relates to the product as the magazine is a music magazine.
The magazine 'Q' has an ideology where rock music is important. An example of media language that shows this is the main cover line and the small cover line which tells us it is a rock magazine as the bands mentioned tells us it's a rock magazine as they are rock bands.
The institutions for 'Q' magazine is that 'Q' also have a TV channel and a website. The institutions purpose is commercial - to make money and to advertise theirself. This affects the content as it includes adverts and content is mainly entertainment.
The representations for the 'Q' magazine i am looking at are U2. They are represented in this magazine as they are a rock band so they represent rock bands in this magazine. The models in the main image show they are represented as moody as they don't look happy. They may be happy people but they are represented as unhappy. Their facial expressions show they are making eye contact with the audience which shows they are confident and want to grab the audience's attention.
The target audience for 'Q' magazine are predominant males, aged 16-30, possible middle class as the price of the magazine indicates this.
