Analysis of Q and XXL

Analysis of Q
-brand identity and brand values

 
















Q magazines brand identity is very similar in each on issue of the magazine, on most of their front covers there is a main image that draws the most attention, with other images that are smaller or that are in the background of the main image, there magazines are very image dominated as well as the big red logo taking up quite a lot of the page. Their front covers are neat and organised, featuring big names on each front cover to attract readers with many interviews advertised on the front as well to attract more readers

Q magazines brand values are that the magazine represents quality and symbolizes a good, reliable music magazine that represents all genres of music giving you an honest view of these genres and the artists that make the music, the magazine is also trying to show that it’s a classy, respected magazine that consists of youthfulness but also maturity


Analysis of XXL
-brand identity and brand values








XXL magazines brand identity, like Q magazine, is similar in each issue of the magazine, there is a frequent colour scheme of white and black with the red of the logo, their magazines only feature one artist on the front, this is the artist that issue of the magazine is mainly about, the image of the artist takes up a large portion of the page as this is what they want the reader to look at, the headline is always the name of the artists as in the biggest font, the font isn't always the same on the front covers, but tends to be to be the same throughout many issues. There are some random colours that are not part of the house style, these are normally the colours of the clothes the artist is wearing, these colours stand out as the background is usually black or white

XXL magazines brand values are obvious in that it mainly covers black artists that make hip hop music, the magazine paints a picture of the type of way this genre of music is perceived and how they want you to perceive it. It is portrayed as being a cool magazine that shows edge, excitement and vibrancy, but still has that quality feel and look about it
