1. Contents Analysis 1

2. There are many cover stories on
the contents page. There is three
different sections on the contents
page. A regular section, [right-
hand side], a features section [left-
hand side] and a third section
[middle] which only contains
images. The images are mainly
related to pop-esque bands.

3. The contents page
does in fact match
the layout of the
front cover.
They use the
same image in the
front cover as the
contents page.
The image on the
front cover is the
main story inside,
so they used the
same image in the
contents page to
highlight to the
read what page
the main story is.
In the corner of
the contents page
there is a small
image of the front
cover. It shows
the front cover
because it is
reaffirming that
this is THAT
specific
magazine.
Both the front
cover and
contents page
have the Q
Awards
advertisement.

colour schemes. This
matches the house style of
the front cover. The four
main colours are; Red,
Black, White and Gold.
The Red is synergy
because it matches
with the
logo/masthead.
Certain parts are
highlighted red
because they are
key points of the
front cover, whereas
on the contents page
it underlines the titles
for each story, it also
highlights what issue
it is.
The Gold is also
synergy because it
matches with the rest
of the colour scheme.
The gold shows
connotations of
winning, which relates
back the to the Q
Awards. The fact
“Green Day” is in gold
suggests the “year”
they has was very
good/a winning year.

5. There is only
two columns of
text, this is
unusual and
breaks codes
and conventions
because,
typically
magazines have
three.
On this
contents page
there is several
images. It
points out the
key pages in
the article to
attract the
audiences
attention.
