CONTENTS PAGE ANALYSIS OF Q

The title of the contents page is a banner which fills the whole of the top first contents page. The large, black font stands out against the light background, therefore it automatically catches the readers eye. The addition of the masthead next to the title also helps to attract the reader as the bright red and white logo contrasts well next to the dark text. In addition, the red background of the logo matches the date which is in small letters above the title, so the reader will know the issue

Unlike most magazines, the contents page is a double page spread on pages 4 and 5 instead of being on page 2. However, the contents consists of the same colours as the cover and which is used throughout, creating a sense of house style. This consists of red, white and blue but also black to make the writing clear and easy to read. The fact that the colours stayed the same shows consistency, making the magazine more professional therefore is more suitable for the older audience /  target audience

On the second page of contents there are 6 smaller images, 3 can be seen in the image on the left. 5/6 of the images are off people who have been interviewed inside. The use of the little text box next to each image helps to provide a small, teasing insight to the reader which should encourage them to read on. However, they are significantly smaller to clarify the attention is not taken away from the main image. The other image used is of an album which has been reviewed inside the magazine.
