Q Magazine - Contents Page Analysis

‘Q contents’ is written in a large font over a red background as a strip at the top of the page. The ‘Q’ is in the same font as the masthead on the front cover and it is also written in white again the same as the main logo. The word ‘contents’ is written in a black skinny font making it look rather professional. The date is written in white italics above the word contents over the red strip, this is helpful to the reader as they then know whether the articles are up to date or not. A reasonably large picture of Kings of Leon has been placed at the top of the page and their heads slightly cover the ‘Q contents’ title to the contents page, a yellow circle lies over the leg of one of the band members and written over the circle says ‘Cover Story’ to remind people that it is the main article advertised on the front cover. The page numbers for each article are written in a larger black font to the text given for each article allowing them to stand out. The titles for each article are written as the musician’s name in a red font smaller than the page numbers. There is a strip flush right with a title which is ‘Q review’ again the ‘Q’ is written in a white font whereas ‘review’ is written in a black font, underneath is written ‘the world’s finest music guide’ this is a puff as it boosts the status of the magazine. The ‘Q review’ includes new albums, reissues, live and film and the names of who is involved in each title written underneath. Pictures have been scattered around the page to show up different articles, each picture is different for example, there is a polaroid looking picture of five people which highlights a certain article. The background of the entire page is white and there is only negative space as a strip at the bottom and down the right side of the page. The layout of the contents page  is neat yet laid back giving it a welcoming feel for the reader, it is also extremely easy to read with all the information you need on one page.
