Q Contents Page Analysis



This contents page follows many conventions of a magazine contents page, and in my opinion is a typical and ordinary contents page. The masthead that reads 'contents' is at the top left of the page and the masthead from the splash 'Q' is also in the top left corner, but shrunken down to the same size as the masthead on this page. Still with the same font and the same colours. The colour theme has continued from the masthead on the front page to the contents page, with titles and headings, in a white coloured font with a red strip behind them. Also the page numbers down the left hand side are red with a white background down the left hand side.



The picture is big, as it needs to be the main focus and catch the attention of the reader, it is positioned on the right hand side of the 'features' section (were all the pages are listed). The picture is of one of the main features in the magazine, and it is because of this that it has to catch the readers attention. The picture is of the band 'The Courteeners'. The band are stood on a hill and it shows them stood next to eachother, this is relevant because they are a scottish band and the hill and grassland is representative of Scotland. It also is one of only two pictures on the contents page, the other picture is near the bottom of the page and is considerably smaller than it. This other picture is in a different section called 'review', the fact that there are two pictures makes it clear that there are two sections. It does this aswell by having the big picture to the left of the 'features' section and the smaller picture to the right of the 'review' section it gives the page a more balanced look, rather having both pictures to the right and making it look unbalanced.
