Who is it aimed at?

I think Q is aimed at a variety of readers, with a variety of ages, interests etc but they all share a common ground; the love and appreciation of music.
The analysis of the photos below support this:

1.

The image above is a double page spread, consisting mainly of an image - a photograph of the bad Friendly Fires. a quarter of the double page spread is filled with text. Considering the main aspects of this page is a photograph which has been taken in a comedic and interesting way, this connotes to an audience of those who firstly like the band Friendly Fires, and secondly an audience who is not interested in reading too much text; yet simply enjoys the artistic qualities inside the magazine.

This double page spread is different compared to the first one, graphics and the text appear to be an important part, along with the mid- close up shot of the singer it relates to, Lily Allen. There is almost double to writing on this page as opposed to the first which has notably less. It is more structured, and has a notable composition. All three parts of this double page spread are equally important. I would say this is aimed at those who like to read about bands and artists, hear from their point of view: this is made apparent to the reader with the large writing in a quirky yet cool graphics edit, which contains speak marks, so we know that Lily Allen has been quoted. It is aimed at an audience of many ages, particularly young people as that is who her music reaches out too, and those who like to know about the artists as well as thier music.

This final double page spread from Q magazine is largely different from the previous two, much of the pages are covered in text, it is clear that this is a detailed article which is all about the indie-rock band Razorlight: appealing to an audience who are into rock music. The article contains Razorlight talking about their third album, which would be aimed at maybe adult readers who are dedicated fans of this band, and follow thier music on a regular basis, also people who may want to find something new to listen to. It draws the audience in to buy the magazine, but it is also a form of advertising for this band.
