The image shot frame is a close up. Her make up is natural and the costume is quite simple because it is a popular music magazine and not a fashion magazine so it makes it clear what type of magazine it is. There are conventions of layouts which I analysed above. 

The genre of the music shows R&B, Pop and probably 'soul' because the artist on the front is Adele and she is popular for music in those genres. However the colour red  and black

denotation ('last request' 'Keith richards's' ) is a connotation of Rock music aswell. 

The colour scheme of this magazine is very bright; black, red and white. The denotation of 'Q' the logo text being white the connotation of passion and love for music. There are conventions of layouts which I analysed in the magazine above. 

Q magazine is published monthly in the UK. The magazine is published today by German publishing company called 'Bauer Media' It has its operations in many countries world wide.

The language is quite informal for audiences, 'flaunt it' 'blows us away' they are used to attract the audience as we understand and are captivated by what is says and will want to read more. Also 'Secret stash' the word stash is informal it simply means supply. The word stash allows the reader to immediately be convinced and will want to know the secret so will want to buy the magazine.
