Red is a usual coulor of the Q magazine along with the standard white "Q" logo, this makes it look professional which will mean it may appeal to an older audience. The month and year is at the top which means it's a monthly magazine and will be reliable for readers.

Straight away the title shows to the readers that the magazine is going to be reliable since it says "NME This Week". They also use a black background on this part with white and red text, this makes it stand out clearly to the audience. 

They only include one main image on their contents page including a large main story in a contrasting text colour to show up clearer. They also include a special offer at the bottom stating you "Save over £45" in bold, bright yellow font. This is done to make the reader feel that they could save money that way and so may make them want to. 

The colours of the page are mostly black, white and red, this makes the red stand out clearer than the other colours. The other reason they've used red is because it's a typical colour of NME magazine and they want to keep their magazines consistent.
