Analysis of Front cover

For my first analysis of a front cover is this Q magazine. The main colours used on this cover are red,white and black, with these colours the magazine comes across as sexy and quite fierce. the red and black make the magazine dark but when the white is added it helps the magazine stand out more with a little bit of brightness.
At the top of the magazine on a black banner it says ' the UK's biggest music magazine', this will make more and more customers want to buy it as this sentence shows that they are 'THE BEST in music'.
the image of cheryl cole in the middle is the same colour as the writing of the magazine itself. with reds, whites, greys and blacks. which makes the image go really well on the front of this magazine because the colour sceme runs throughout. Cheryls red, pale make up also matches the colour of the magazine itself.
using a well known celebrity such as Cheryl Cole will attract many more customers as she is in the spot light much more for the past year or so. however this picture is the usual look that cheryl would have, this is why customers would want to consume this magazine to find out why she has a rocky image. The writing at the bottom of the magazine is very eyecatching as it transforms from smaller to bigger writing with to emphasize the word 'rocks'. this is an overall word for the look that she is going for in this picture.
having this one picture of cheryl leaves the viewer in suspence leaving them wanting to know what this picture is about and what other pictures will be shown inside.
