Research and Planning 'Contents Page Analysis'

You can tell the genre of the magazine by the writing the pictures and colour scheme.
You can tell by the writing because of the language they say things like Festival which in music is usually related to students and younger generations.
Also the masthead 'Q' easy to remember, and a good set up for the slogan ''The magazine you cue for''.
I believe the target audience is ages 15-22 I think this because of the bands being modern and up and coming also because of the mention of concerts and festivals.
The layout is quite simple a large picture, one column of headlines and some additional information. There are only 10 headlines but each headline takes quite a few pages. The contents does follow the three colour rule, using colours commonly seen together red, black and white.
