DPS research - 'Q' magazine - Ed Sheeran


This double page spread is from 'Q' magazine. The first thing that stands out to me is the title 'I'm bringing ginger back!' I like the fact 'Ginger' is in red because this links with the common saying of calling people with ginger hair 'Red heads'. I like that fact that the writing doesn't cover both of the A4 pages but there is still a lot of it which would be enough for me to get the marks I need but still make my DPS exiting which is my aim. I think the writing is rather small so depending on the audience for example 16 year olds may not read the text unless they was a really big fan of Ed Sheeran. Whereas an older audience for example 20 year olds they would probably read the text whether they were a fan or not. A 16 year old would probably buy the magazine for one thing in particular on the front cover or to look at the images whereas 20+ year olds would buy the magazine to genuinely read it. The colour scheme is red and white which links with the house style of the 'Q' logo being red and white. I like the fact Ed has a prop with him which is his actual guitar, this would be good to have as most of the vintage front covers I have looked at use instruments as props for their models.
