Q Magazine front cover research

This is an editon of Q magazine it features on the front cover Coldplay a huge band and wonderful image for Q to be modelling. I love the effect they have used on the image of Coldplay it matches the font of "Coldplay"with that brown sepia effect. I think the sepia effect brings a lot to the image to improve it dramatically one is that the image looks like it is an old photo giving a classical and sophisticated effect to this picture. All of the band are staring directly into the camera lense making it look like they are looking at you. Another feature of the magazine i have noticed is that it has hardly any text on the front cover the only text it has is advertising the band for example "And now for something completely different... Coldplay one month inside their revolution" this is the only text that apperas on this edition of Q magazine so Q really pushing the image onto the target audience they want that to stand out the most!
