Homework - Q analysis 1 (1)

This is a Q magazine about the music group Muse. This is targeted at teenagers/adults, because children's magazines usually have bright colours, which appeals to them more than adults. I know that this is a rock theme, because the guy on the front cover has a guitar, which is an indexical sign for rock. Also this has a lot of dark colours, which is also a indexical sign for rock music, because people usually think of dark colours and objects when it comes to rock. 
I like how the background interacts with the logo. As you can see, the guy on the front is swinging his guitar and the logo is cracked, which suggests that he has cracked it with the guitar. This makes the cover look more interesting and creative, which  makes it more appealing to audiences. I think they have put the texts in the corners of the pages, to make the image more visible to readers. Making the image more visible, indicates to the audience that its big story is about muse. However it also has their name in big letters on the front, making it clear to the reader. On the cover the magazine gives a little bit of information, to let the reader know the outline of the stories and make them want to read the full story.
Overall I think this magazine is for teenagers/adults and uses a lot of good, eye catching features to intrigue the reader.
