This title block is very clear and in your face which was used to catch the eyes of magazine readers. There are various ways that this title block achieves this. One point is the size of the font which is very bold and large which would predominately convey to the readers that it is the most important part of the magazine. Another way this title block is clearly visible and draws attention would be the bright red colour that is used the red is emphasised more strongly by the background which is black which helps it stand out more. The title is very loud and aggressive in a sense this would normally be placed at the top of the magazine to help be more noticeable to readers.
Fairly basic analysis. You have not used much media terminology to explore the image. You need to think about camera shot, lighting and colour, costume and make-up, facial expression and intertextual references. Also, Q magazine is not a hip hop magazine, it mainly focuses on rock or pop music of both establised and up and coming acts.
