Language - This has to be the most organised and categorised content page of all three, even the pictures don't even show any anger which is a first for a music magazine of this kind of genre; however this could be because 'Q' represents a mixed genre as there is no one set genre. The different sub-headings are in higher case letters with a contrasting background which makes it easy to see which part of the text goes in which category, this helps easy, laid-back reading without the need of big, drastic pictures over powering the page. What's different about this content page to any other pages is that this one has another section to show what you will find every month such as subscriptions and letters sent to the editor, as well as reviews on shows and the newest music out.
Ideology - With the band in the main picture being on what looks like a hill and it seems like they're towering over everything else it's like they have grown as a band, like they've grown to be successful. They are dressed in everyday clothing which you would see every day people wearing so it shows that anyone can achieve what they have as long as you keep trying.
Audience - Unlike other music magazines, 'Q' is aimed at an older audience, this is shown by the primitive layout as there is no need for pictures to take over the page. Also, there is no set genre but it branches off into several sub-genres which makes it easy for this to apply to a large audience.
Representation - It's difficult to say what particulary is shown from this magazine as there are aspects from alomst every genre, but if anything it shows that everyone is equal due to there not being a specific genre so everyone can buy this magazine and not worry about being in the right 'audience category'.
