Reader Profile

• Q audience don’t define themselves by the music they listen to. Music is an important passion, but their love of music will never be to the detriment of their other passions, such as film, sport and comedy.

Q Magazine History

• Q magazine was first published in October 1986 by founders Mark Ellen and David Hepworth.

• They felt they were ignoring an older generation of music buyers so created a magazine published monthly with higher

standards of photography and printing.

• The magazine was originally spelt as “cue” as to cue music but it was changed to a single letter heading so not to be

confused with a snooker magazine.

Masthead

I chose this magazine cover because unlike all of the other magazine covers this masthead is broken up. This is done

to appeal to the target audience as it links into the main article.
