Magazine Analysis

This morning I was asked to analyse a music magazine and suggest it's target audience. The publication I was asked to analyse 'Q' magazine. I concluded that the targeted readers are people who are interested in rock/indie music, possibly likely to be white or caucasian males in their early 20's. The cover image shows a close up black and white photograph of a member of the band Oasis, when he had started with the band, showing the Oasis history. The main cover line is 'OASIS ARE BACK!' and below the the main cover line is cover lines and boxed text. Also, there more cover lines on the bottom left corner (Kings of Leon...). Furthermore, there is a bar code, price and issue date on the bottom right corner.
