Q Magazine- Target Audience

Firstly, i think that the magazine is targeted at both males and females. This is because the colouring on the front; red, orange, black & white are non-gender specific, and because they a re bright tones, it stands out to everyone. Alsothere is a gender mix of music icons on the front cover, appealing to men and women. 

   Becaus ethe layout is quite simple, using simple colours, shapes and lettering, i think it appeals to the younger generation, possibly 20-30 years. Also the context, famous icons and type of music featured in the magazine appeals to the younger generation.

   looking through the magazine, adverts, apart from music ones, seem to all be aimed at men. There are men's perfumes, the game 'Halo', alcohol and golf adverts and mobile phones. Because these things appeal predominantly to men, this leads me to think that the majourity fo the readers of this magazine are male, even though the cover seems to be unisex. There is not one advert that is directed solely at women.
