What do you notice about the magazines presentation?
Central image - everything else surrounds this image (it is the only image on the cover). Their nothing placed over her, only over her hair. The actual image is a very close up shot.
It is also quite a minimalistic design but the different font sizes give a cluttered feel to keep the edgy look the magazine seems to be going for (judging by the taboo language used).
Does it look cheap or expensive?
I would say the magazine looked expensive. Mainly due to the glossy cover, which makes the magazine look quite sophisticated even though it is a music magazine.
How does it compare to other similar magazines?
'Q' sets itself apart from the others and has created a unique look. It does not look cliched and for really young people like a pop music magazine such as 'Smash Hits!'. Nor is it wild and crazy looking like magazines for more similar genres, other branches of rock, such as 'NME' for indie rock or 'Kerrang!' for heavy metal.
