Billboard Magazine

Q Magazine      

The mast head of Q magazine is always located top left hand corner, which is so that this is what readers see first. This is also so that they are aware of the image of the artist. The colours white and red are always consistent for the mast head.

 The predominant colours used  are mostly black red and white, which make reference to the magazines mast head. The strap lines are always red and black which distinctively identifies each one and allows for easy navigation.

A lot of the time the masthead is covered by an artist, which shows that the image is more important.

The shots used are more often than not medium shots of the person. This is so that we can see more then just a face. Instead we can see what they are holding and wearing .
