Analysing Contents page

Contents pages are usually very simple and set out in a fashion that make it easy for people to find what they are looking for. As you can see the contents page uses a few more images than the front cover, however Kerrang is an overall image based magazine. The colour scheme of the page is yellow, black and white, this colour scheme looks good as well going well with the images used. The contents page is laid out in a very manic fashion but I feel like this portrays the genre of music that people who would buy the magazine enjoy.

The larger image used on the contents page takes up half of the entire page. This is because the particular band that has been featured would likely draw attention to someone reading the magazine.  Four different fonts have been used, by doing this the diversity of font creates a more interesting piece to read.

There is a consistent layout throughout all “Q” magazine issues. The logo and banner are placed across the top of the page and the main image is usually placed in the middle of the page, by using this layout it draws attention to the page while the reader is going through the magazine. The magazine has a three tone colour scheme, the colours that were chosen are not gender specific so it appeals to a wider audience. The word contents is written in the biggest font, this ensure that readers straight away know what the page is about. The second biggest font is the sub heading

The layout of this contents page is very conventionally set out with the columns at the side, and the titles and page numbers, with a few images, which makes it look professional. Each section of the magazine is under a certain section, for example on the left side we see that some are seen as ‘features’ such as ticket touting and the Q list.
