Language - The masthead is at the top of the page so it will be the first part of the magazine that most people will see, bold, red, iconic. The issue number is also in the masthead which tells the reader what issue it is in case they missed it on the front cover. The articles that will be featured in this magazine are placed on the outside of the magazine pages which leaves space in the middle of the pages for images of the artists that will also be featured in this magazine.
Institution - The contents page of the magazine was created by Bauer Music Group. Q's first issue was published in October 1986 and featured Paul McCartney as the main story. In December 2013, there was 52,781 readers in circulation (includes print and digital editions)
Ideology - Q magazine doesn't really have a genre of music that they focus on but their target audience is based at people in their 30's and 40's. They mainly feature established artists on the front cover or artists from the past, this is why I feel that this magazine isn't aimed at teens or young adults.
Audience - The target audience of Q magazine is people around their 30's and 40's. The magazine is also non gender specific as they use the colour scheme red, black and white; none of these colours are gender specific.
Representation - The main image of the contents page is a high angle close up of Liam Gallagher who is looking away from the camera which shows a rebellious attitude.
