- I think that this issue of Q magazine bears some similarities to my music magazine. Firstly it is a close up shot, you can only see Cheryl Cole's face, just as you can only see Christie's face. Christie has a slightly different pose with her hands, but the type of shot is the same.
- Another similarity is the general layout with all the writing. Cheryl Cole is the centre of the cover, with the writing being shaped around her. I think that this layout makes not only the artist stand out more, but also the writing, as it is properly organized around the page. I did the same with 'Radar', I made sure that Christie was the main attraction of the cover.
- The lighting on both covers is quite dark, with exaggerated light on the artist, to draw attention to them a bit more. However the lighting is much more apparent on the Q magazine, making Cheryl Cole look more dramatic. My Radar magazine is much more subtle, and the lighting makes my artist look much softer. I have a lens flare on my artist, which does make her stand out of the cover. However if I was to go back and make another magazine, I would probably make the lighting more prominent, as I think the dramatic look of Q's artist is extremely effective.
- There are some similarities in the writing of the two magazines, as both focus on whats inside the magazine that will attract the target audience, and both magazines have wrting shaped around the artist.
