Rolling Stone
This magazine targets the younger generation who are interested in music. It doesn't only have interviews and articles about music artists, it also has 'The Rolling Stone Interview' with celebrities like Brad Pitt, the girls from 'The Hills' and many more.
The USP of this magazine is definitley the interview. It normaly has the front cover photo of the person they're interviewing to let the audience know who it is. The style and design of the front cover is bold and stands out. The masthead is the same font in every issue just a different colour.

NME
This magazines audience is 17-30 year old men. It isn't a very highly produced magazine, because compared to the other 2 magazines i looked at it hasn't got a glossy cover and doesn't advertise the kind of brands that they do either.
The interviews and articles in this magazine is more with low fame bands and artists that are just starting out. They do have well known artists aswell like Lily Allen, but more often it is bands that men like and that aren't high up in the music industry.
Again the front cover stands out because the masthead is red and always is on every cover. It is in capitals too which looks bolder.

Q
Q is aimed at older music buyers who are serious about music. It is also probably more for men. You can tell this because when you read it there are adverts for expensive watchs, beer and trainers.The content of this magazine is abit like Rolling Stone in that it has famous people like Coldplay and Madonna being interviewed.
The front cover is glossy and on every issue there is a different message on the spine. Readers are supposed to work out what the message has to do with the content of the magazine. The masthead is a single letter and this has been said to stand out more in a newsagents.
I am going to take different elements from each magazine to use in my own.
