The magazine cover uses a color scheme of red, white and grey. These colors contrast with the black background, which makes the writing and features stand out more to the readers to make it easier to read. Also, the use of darker and simpler colors matches the genre of the magazine, as even though it includes a variety of music genres, it doesn't use bright colors that would be seen on some magazines such as pop, but instead uses typical magazine colors that are rather neutral besides the red which is used to make it bold. The masthead 'Q' is very large and wrote as a capital letter, and this shows that it is dominant and successful as a magazine. Also, it is placed on a big red square which is the only bold color of the color scheme, therefore it stands out to the audience, grasping their attention, and makes it easy for the readers to notice which magazine it is.
