The Magazine ‘Q’ has similar aspects to ‘Kerrang’, it has layers of information to create dimension yet centers the main image. It has bold colours and many fonts to make it eye catcing however the technique used in ‘NME’ of the model is more impressive; the model is the main topic/ interest of the magazine yet ‘Q’ overpowers the model’s image too much with advertisment and text whereas the ‘NME’ model is posed and positioned to attract consumers instead of the text used.
