This is Q magazine. It has the normal language that a typical magazine will have: bar code, masthead, coverlines and a main coverline.

The main image, of Matt Bellamy from Muse, is a medium shot of him smashing his guitar on the Q logo. It's rather effective because it shows Matt as a rebel and it's quite cliché because it's well-known for people to smash their guitars - especially if you're a rocker. Q magazine represents Matt as rocker this way. It makes him seem cool and a hardcore angry musician. This fits in with Q's ideology; to make rock and alternative seem cool and important.

The main coverline relies on the fact that people like and want to read about Muse. Then the smaller part of the main coverline says, "I bought 50 tins of beans and an axe." For me, personally, that is a little bit weird and intriguing. I would want to know more and I'm sure others would too.

'200 things you didn't know about The Beatles' is very attracting for the reader because if you like the Beatles (which many do) you'd want to read it, and two hundred things is a rather big number, and quite surprising. This might also be why it's in red; to make the reader see the 200 first and think 'wow - 200?'

The selling line 'The UK's biggest music magazine,' is very attractive for a buyer. If it's the UK's biggest music magazine, then it's value for money.
