This is the splash of an edition of 'Q' magazine, there is a variety of media language on this splash and it follows many of the conventions of a music magazine. The masthead is in the top left of the magazine and is in big bold font, around it is a red box that is filled in, this helps the masthead to stand out from the rest of the splash.
The picture follows conventions of a magazines splash, as conventionally the main picture on the splash takes up approximately two thirds of the page, as does this picture. The picture is of Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher. In this picture they are made to look rebellious and this is shown by Liam showing his tattoo, which is seen as being quite rebellious and also wearing dark sunglasses. Noel is in a denham jacket with his tongue stuck out, with a flicking gesture, all of these things are rebellious and are seen as by teenagers as cool, and many people look upto such big celebrities and want to be like them. So to have Noel and Liam Gallagher on the front cover, this catches the attention of the potential audience straight away.
Unlike some other magazines there is only one picture on the front cover. However there are other pieces of text on the page advertising articles that are in the magazine, these pieces of text follow a colour theme, with bigger text and subtitles in a gold colour font, and the smaller pieces of text in white or in black, which ever makes it stand out more.
