This is a 'Q' magazine cover featuring 'Coldplay' who are another rock band that I like.
This magazine cover is different to the likes of an 'NME' magazine as the image of the featured band doesn't fill the page but still most of it. Around the main image of 'Coldplay' are other features that can be found within the magazine so buyers automatically see the content that is being offered within the magazine with 'Coldplay' being the main attraction.
The image of the band is very serious as they are all stood upright and are aligned staring at the readers. This is so that the band can comply with typical rock band conventions which involves a serious and almost menacing image which reflects their serious music.
The text is aligned so that 'Coldplay' is in the middle as though they are the center piece and it is bigger and the color yellow to distinguish the difference between the name of the band and the common text which demonstrates the importance and popularity of the band. It also jumps out to the potential buyers as it stands out from the rest of the text and in combination with the large image it immediately demonstrates what band is the main feature in the magazine.
The text above it 'world exclusive' persuades the target audience, which is people who are fans of rock music, that this magazine offers something 'exclusive' and therefore something different and revealing about a major band which immediately gets them interested.
