Langauge and Layout of both magazines ( NME and Q)
NME:
When looking at this page straight away the image catches your attention, as it covers most of the page and seperates the interview to either side of the page, this immediatley informs the reader that this page will be centred around what the image is showing. This page consists of the colours red, black, yellow and white, keeping to the intended colour scheme from the front cover. The main information and topics of this page are high-lighted in a bold and strong colour (Red), this too catches the readers attention because they are showing which bits the reader should read first. The main-heading is bold and goes across the top of the page, they are using a quote from the article itselfs (showing what the interview is about). The language is engaging and friendly to the reader, we understand the purpose of the article. They keep it simple and interesting, so not the bore the reader. Also they have used a 'Puff' at the bottom of the page, this makes the article more interesting, as you can 'Win' an item from a competition. You would usually see these on the front cover of a magazine, but i think its good to have one in a magazine, engaging the reader even more.
Q:
The layout of the article is different to NME because the image is much bigger and more of a main focus, for this article. When i first looked at this page, the image caught my attention straight away. The main heading goes across the bottom of the image, surrounded by the colour Red, which again, catches the readers attention, as Red is a dominating colour. Also, a quote (which as been picked out the article) is in red, also again catching the readers attention, before they start to read the article. I would say they have used the colour Red ( like NME) to keep to its front cover colour scheme, as the mast-head is usually Red. The laguage again is simple and engages the reader. The main headings and high-lighted points are short, making the reader want to read this article, a clever technique in wanting to promote a certain item or Band, or even the buy the magazines.

When creating my music magazine i will keep to the intended colour scheme of red, black, white and yellow and the type of fonts it uses, such as Sans Serif.
