Language - Just like all magazines, there are no full sentences, just quick and short phrases that give a brief of what the main stories are within the magazine. The main picture is quite primitive however I think in this case it has worked very well since the only part of the image that has had a bit of work put into it is the guitar to reflect on the main story. Everything within the front cover is very central and the whole cover seems to be symmetrical and this shows order and therefore a slightly older audience.
Institution - The publisher of 'Q' is 'Bauer Media' who also publishes 'Kerrang!' magazine and many others.
Ideology - Considering fact that the lead singer of the band is right in the centre of the front cover and everything else is surrounding him, it's like he's the centre off all music right now. Also, since one of the band members behind him is holding out a guitar in flames it links with the headline and the fact that they really are the hottest thing in music right now.
Audience - I have taken this quote from the site http://www.bauermedia.co.uk/Brands/Q/ as it explains the audience perfectly 'Open minded experience seekers, the Q audience don’t define themselves by the music they listen to. Music is an important passion, but their love of music will never be to the detriment of their other passions, such as film, sport and comedy.'
Representation - They are represented as very intimidating as the lighting is creating lots of shadows in their faces so it's difficult to see their eyes but at the same time it seems like they're staring right at you as just the colour of his eye has been enhanced.
