Magazine Analysis [3]


Gentlemans Quarterly, more commonly known as GQ Magazine is a magazine based around style, culture and mens fashion.
Its main competition is 'FHM' and 'MAXIM' Magazines. This backs up points made earlier in the Brainstorm which i posted.
Promotion is once again stamped to the bottom of this magazine "50centonline.com" advertising the main man on the front of the magazine who is featured within the pages.
Much like FHM and MIXMAG this magazine has a few 'sneak peaks' of the contents stapled to the left hand side of the magazine front cover. Different fonts/sizes/styles are used to portray different meanings and matters of importance throughout.
A nice little feature is the "+" section on the right hand-side. This is what makes GQ different to its competition and i quite like the idea of symbols on the front of the magazine to lure the audience over to something other than your usual lexis.
