Analyzing Q magazine contents page...

Q Magazine also too the approach of using several images instead of one. Instead of writing the title to be 'Contents', they used the issue number. However, the layout of the page resembles a basic contents page anyway due to it's layout, the numbers listed and titles.

They've used 6 images in total, with one of a poster and one of a review they've featured. The images contain no live music shots but that would be due to the music genre of popular/chart/indie music it covers. Instead of page numbers along with captions of the images and the feature, there's just numbers, sparking a curiosity of what's inside. I've noticed that similar to kerrang, there's a paragraph of text on the page, with nothing to make it stand out any further than the rest of the page. However, unlike in kerrang, this is a review of a band. The page isn't separated like kerrang, but it is separated between pages. The pages names and numbers are in bold with the number boldest and there's a description of the feature below, describing what the features all about, making you more interested in it and wanting to read more. Both the lack of information and more information works well, but if too much was given, I believe there reader wouldn't see the point in continuing to read, whereas if there was less such as a number and no writing or image, the reader wouldn't become interested.

The colours, also similar to Kerrang, match the cover. There's also only 2 colours again; black, white and red.   There is only one bright colour, which is red. However, the colour is only used to highlight the title texts and to separate the list of pages. It's also used in the reviews text, which separates it from the rest of the content. It works well as the important parts are highlighted and little use of the colour means it isn't over powering.
