Music Magazines
The magazine 'Q' has used a big close-up portrait of celebrity 'Florence' for their front cover and has gone with an orange, blue and white colour-scheme. The blue and orange are complimentary, meaning they stand out together and contrast which could be linked to the contrast between Florence's personal life and her life as a singer. The text is white to help it stand out and make it easily readable and the sell-lines have been positioned nicely around the models face so as not to draw attention from her. The size of the font varies throughout, with some text bigger or smaller. This is to draw more attention to certain cover-lines, and add smaller, less-noticeable comments underneath that can only be read when up close, causing a passing potential customer to have to move closer in order to read it. After 'Meet the new Simon Cowell' there is another part in brackets meant to maybe portray the creators own opinion as it says 'and this one's not a bastard'. This gives the reader a sense of amusement and as most people would agree with it they'll want to read it. The title is displayed in the top left corner, making it easily visible and recognisable from a distance. The word 'GIG' is displayed in very large font, trying to attract readers as it contains information that interests a lot of people, and they'll want to know.
