The title of this magazine has been written in Bold capital letters, this is to ensure it is legible from a distance. The font chosen is very sharp and angular. There is an exclamation mark at the end, use of this graphological feature helps to connote the loudness and excitement associated with the music title serves to represent. The title is in black and worn, also a smashed affect has also been used. Rock music is a very modern style of music and considered very dark, hence the appropriate use of the colour black. Rock music is also associated destruction, so the worn styling and smashed effect are also an appropriate addition. The title is the onomatopoeic sound of a guitar being strummed. With the guitar obviously being one of the key instruments within rock music, again we see the title making it apparent to the audience what type of music the magazine is based on. These should appeal to the audience because it relates to the genre they are interested in.

The readership of Q magazine is slightly older, aged 22-24. This is clearly connoted by the more sophisticated styling of the title block. The Font chosen is very swarve and curvy, this shows that the magazines content will be serious and be more focused on the intellectual side of things.
The Name of this music magazine is Q, also known as queue. This is a title that tells the viewer that the magazine is based on music because queuing is an action associated with it. The colours chosen for the title are red and white which are vibrant colours, red usually a colour associated with prestige. Both the colours also contrast making it a very clear and visible title.
