This is the Q, as you can see the title 'Q' is in big bold lettering and stands out from the red background surrounding the letter Q. You immediately know which magazine it is because of the simple title. The main subject is Lily Allen , which is why she is the main picture on the cover. She has black clothes on, which is why the font over her is in white, so that is stands out and is readable. Additionally she is in black because of the two panthers next to her, these are both black so they all link to each other. The Panthers and Lily Allen's tights are black and the background is a pale or light grey, so again it makes the main images stand out. 'Sexy Beast' this links to Lily Allen as well as the two Panthers again linking the images together. Also towards the top right of the magazine, again links to the Panthers, it says Oasis, and underneath the sub heading of Oasis; which stands out is 'I am a Tiger' everything on this cover links together and is all visible and easy to read. The two words 'wicked and wicked' are both in red this stands out like other writing and the word wicked sounds an evil word so the red links to that as well.
This cover also has the price and the barcode on again for ease of use. This magazine is targeted at people who enjoy indie or rock music, so the part of the magazine that says 'top 25 rock movies' will make these readers want to read on into the magazine.
Finally the main image (Lily Allen and the Panthers) are all very central, this is so that they immediately catch your attention and they are the first things that you look at. Also the rest of the captions are placed around the cover an a frame like layout, this makes it look tidy and helps make the main images stand out. Furthermore the shot of Lily Allen is a model shot, this means that she posed for the shot and that they prepared her for this shot.
