Style Model

For my own magazine, my style model will be based on Q magazine. I have chosen my style model to be Q magazine because it relates to my chosen target audience for my magazine. It is a mature music magazine and can relate to young adults and older teens. The magazine's layout is how I would like to present my own because it is clear with the subheadings and the title stands out. Even though it has all the conventions of a general music magazine, it still does it's job of engaging the reader/ buyer from the shelf.

For my cover photo, I would like to base it on Q magazine because they generally have a clear single image in the centre so it can pop out from the page and engage fans of the artist. It is a simple picture used but has a big effect on the people wanting to buy it. The music genre I have chosen for my own magazine is also based on Q magazine. Because my magazine is having a music genre of pop and rock, Q magazine is based on that music genre. As the magazine has a big following of people, it is proved that a pop and rock magazine does well selling and is very popular. My magazine will be pop and rock because it is the the biggest followed music genre that most people will be able to relate to. All of the subheadings are based on the pop and rock music genre so that even the inside of the magazine is based on that genre.
