Brief:
To design a front cover, contents page and double page spread of a new music magazine. All images and text used must be original, a minimum of four images used.
LIIAR Analysis:
The magazine I will be analyzing is 'Q' Magazine. The cover I chose to analyse was one with Ed Sheeran being the main image. The cover follows the general conventions of a music magazine and it looks very professional. However, one thing they have done differently is that Ed isn't looking down the camera, which you would expect from a magazine front cover, and this style of photograph would be inside the magazine. It is a music magazine covering a few styles of music. The demographics of Q magazine are that is usually bought by people aged 30 to 40 who are looking for a different style of magazine to read. It was first published in 1986 by Bauer and has kept publishing since then. Bauer is an incredibly large media company, is the largest in the UK and is responsible for 107 brands, from genres such as sport, gardening, cars and even fish keeping. It also has outlets in TV and radio. They publish other famous magazines such as 'Heat', 'Closer', 'FHM' and 'Zoo' and runs 'Magic' radio station. It generated its fame for being a magazine because of its high quality printing and photography and includes only the most successful of artists. The representation of the magazine is focusing on Ed Sheeran's music rather than his personal appearance. His Guitar is one of the main focal points of the image, instead of Ed looking 'good'.
