Q - front cover

The masthead is conventional as it is in the top left third of the magazine. The main image dominates part of the masthead which suggests that this is a mass marketed magazine.

The main image co-incides with the 'title' next to the masthead, as this magazine is about the band 'Muse'. It uses high-key lighting, with a blueish colour as a shadow effect, which is a theme created with the 'blue corner' above 'Muse' and the blue text.

The main coverline is unconventional, and is at the top of the page.

'50 acts you must see' is a pug, which entices the audience into buying this magazine so they can read it.

The barcode is in the bottom left hand corner, which is conventional.
