This is the contents page for 'Q' magazine. This is quite a simple magazine with only a very simple layout. The text is down the left of the page, and images for the right side of the page. Starting with the title, there is the large 'Q' in the centre at the top of the page. 'CONTENTS' is written and lies upon the Q. I liek the way that these two words are joining and the colours of black and grey work well together against the white background. For the sub heading, it says 'ON THE COVER>>' I like this idea of the arrows pointing to where the photos are. It is very clear to readers straight away on the contents. The photos are a few different ones from the from cover, althoguh one of these photos shows the front cover, so readers know this is the main article. The photos are in a montage and scattered across the right side of the page. I like this scattered effect. I will be sure to use a different photo from my front cover photo for the contents page like most of these contents pages. I also really like at the bottom of the page there is a scanned photo of one of the articles, which is Duffy's and anopther article with the heading 'TEENAGE RAMPAGE'. this gives a taster to the reader of some of the best articles in this issue. Another thing i admire is on the far right edge of the page. There is a binding effect, which is similar to one of my sketches. Alhtough in my sketch, it was a fret board of a guitar. This is one of my favourite contents pages, even though it is quite simple with not much colour, it has the best qualities.
Think about what the look of the page suggests about the readership of the magazine. The text is quite small and dense. There is bold use of empty white space. How sophisticated do you think the readers of Q are? Compare with NME? What suits your readership? Think critically.
