The type of imagery associated with Q magazine
The type of imagery involved in Q magazine would be a main image on the front cover with a plain background, along with several other cover stories. The images are usually medium-close ups and they can clearly show the facial expressions of
the band/artist or the images are long shots showing the body language of the band/artist. This can also show the style of clothes worn by the band/artist and can introduce new styles to b worn by the public who buy Q magazine. Other types of imagery that is involved in Q magazines mainly on the front cover are quite sexy clothing/facial expressions, this can lure the public to buy the magazine because the band/artist look very attractive. On the double page spreads of Q magazine
there tends to be a large whole page image of the band/artist that is being interviewed and this can then be used to the buyer as a poster. The imagery of the contents page tends to be a long column of page numbers down the right hand side with one main image, and several other images promoting other important articles in the magazine. Overall I think the imagery for Q magazine is very suitable for the
target audience because the images are always suited to the genre of the particular band/artist and are always good role models for the younger buyers. I also think
that the body language shown in images can show that Q is a relaxed and chilled music magazine and the images shouldn’t be taken seriously.
