Magazine research - Q Magazine

This magazine By ‘Q’ is quite effective and easily attracts their target audience due to the simple yet successful use of the colour scheme for the front cover of the magazine. The use of a blue and white colour scheme clashes with the artist’s hair making them quite bold and stand out to the audience. Also, having Florence wear blue eyeshadow is beneficial  as it complements the front cover’s colour scheme and in addition brings the audience's attention towards her, meaning she is the first thing the viewer is drawn to, therefore fans of Florence will instantly be engaged with the front cover and intrigued to read the magazine. However, the front cover also mentions other celebrities such as Simon Cowell, Chris Martin and Skrillex, three very different members of the music industry which will appeal to a wider audience range which the magazine front cover has used to it’s advantage by putting their names within the headlines of the front cover. The diverse celebrities mentioned on the front cover entices the reader and a wider range of audience’s to read the magazine and therefore create a higher sales margin for Q.
