This is the 25^th anniversary collectors edition of Q magazine, as it is a special edition there is not much information on the front cover because they are focusing on the main story of the magazine. There is quite a lot of white space on the particular front cover but this draws more attention to the main picture of Noel Gallagher. There is a certain font style used to make this front cover informal to the reader, this is used on the section about the artists. This magazine has dressed Noel in a blue shirt to match the puffs that are on this front cover. The main font of Noel's name clashes with his blue shirt, therefore it does not jump out at the reader. However the main masthead contrasts with the blue and yellow puffs because they are primary colours. The front cover would intrigue people because there is a list of famous artists that are popular among the public, although they have only used one artist for the main part of the front cover, the readers will want to know more about the other artists, therefore buying this magazine.
