Q

Q is the UK’s biggest selling music magazine and the world’s best music guide.
The letter ‘Q’ is in capital letters and is in white. It has a red background so it looks very bold.
The title is very clear because it is only one letter and the colours used in the title complement each other to make the title more bold.
The target audience is 25-45 and advertises a wide range of music also dealing with past music this is why it is targeted to this particular audience
It also does in depth interviews
Originally it was to be called Cue (as in the sense of cueing a record, ready to play), but the name was changed so that it wouldn't be mistaken for a snooker magazine. Another reason, cited in Q's 200th edition, is that a single-letter title would be more prominent on news stands.
Often, promotional gifts are given away, such as cover-mounted CDs or books. . Every issue of Q has a different message on the spine. Readers then try to work out what the message has to do with the contents of the mag.
Q is normally published at the beginning of a month
It also compiles a list of approximately eight albums, which it classes as the best new releases of the last three months.
Founders Mark Ellen and David Hepworth
Q was first published in 1986, setting itself apart from much of the other music press with monthly production and higher standards of photography and printing.
