Q magazine cover

This issue of Q magazine have used a close up shot of the Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten with hes mouth covered by text which may represent hes strong opinions, bad language and non caring attitude inwhich he says what he thinks. The text " the true story of " with the emphasis on the word "punk" creates a dangerous and exciting feel to the magazine as it implies you will ony find the correct story of punk in this magazine. The image of the sex pistols is in an aluminous green colour which portrays the sex pistols lary, over the top character. Also the green, black and white colour scheme also shows his different, unique personality which connotes the genre of punk, by rebelling against the norms and values of society.

The headlines are in newspaper clippings which may symbolize hes constant battle with stories appearing in the media. The headlines being presented "Never mind the Jubilee" portray hes rebellious, not caring attitude, this also creates a very controversial image. This could also represent Johnny relaiting to hes fans as of he talking about public transport. The word "Bollocks" has been used in which some people may take this affensive, but also reinacts the rebellious ideology and anti authority rebels this genre of music has.

The brand logo is in the same location being the left top corner. It uses the same font and colour as other previous issues of Q magazine, being a red colour cicle with a white "Q" which contrasts with the dark background this makes its standout so you immediatley recognise the brand. It also over laps the image showing the importance of the logo.

At the bottom of the magazine cover an alliteration has been used " all the bands, all the bollocks", this is effect as it is repetitive and emphasises the point.
