Contents Page Research

This contents page has an obvious colour scheme which consists of black, white and grey. The simple colours make the contents page look sophisticated and suggest it is aimed at young adult target audience. The word 'contents' is written on 3 seperate lines which is quite irregular but looks intersting and attractive. The page is set out in halves, with all the written infomation on the left hadn side. Having the word contents split up fills up space and means the letters can be big and obvious. The models pose frames the words which makes the parts of the magazine all fit together well. The word 'contents' is a bold font while the headings in black are a fancy, more elegant font.

This contents page links with the previous one in the way there is an obvious colour scheme (black white and red). The page uses the rule of thirds: the left lists the articles in the magazine while the second and third sections contain a picture. Below the image is a music review section. The heading is in a black box in a white font which makes it stand out, while the sub-headings are in similar red boxes. This successfully attracts the reader to the important parts of the page and tells them what that particular section contains. The magazine name 'Q' appears twice on the contents page, in front of main titles so it is constantly obvious what magazine it belongs to.

This magazine title page contrasts to the previous ones because there is a wider range of colour used. The most obvious colours are pink, black and white. However, the pink clashes with the red from the 'NME' logo. The page may have been organised in thirds but this is not completely obvious as the left hand column is much narrower; it lists some articles in the magazine. The main section lists the top 10 features of the magazine and has clearly been designed to attract the readers attention - the numbers are bold black while the writing is in pink, linking with the border colour. There are various circles on the page which include extra information which link with the logo circle.

This magazine has a black, white and yellow colour shceme but the main colour is white which makes up the background. This page is in two halves. The left has 3 images including an image of the front cover. There is also a paragraph of information above. The right hand side has 3 more images as well as a list of articles, making up the contents. The same font is used in the contents as well in the title and quotations above which keeps the page concise. The yellow stands out on the page, attracting the readers attention.
