The document summarizes and compares the contents pages of three music magazines: NME, Q, and Mojo. NME uses a band index and highlights features, news, and live sections. Q's page is dominated by artist pictures across a double page spread to showcase different genres. Main articles are marked by large page numbers. Less important articles are listed on the outside pages. Q uses red, white, and black colors. Mojo's page is simply laid out with half devoted to an artist picture and half to a clearly listed article list in black text on a white background, using red only for page numbers. Under the artist picture is a quote to entice readers to the full interview.

2. NME contents page
Almost half the page is taken up by a picture of an artist which relates to an article, this can easily be found as under the
picture it has a page number and an insight into the article.
The colour scheme sticks to mainly black or white writing and only uses red to highlight important information such as a
page number.
It has a band index on the side of the page where many band reviews can be found which is on the left hand side of the
page, this is not the main selling point of the magazine which is why it is very tightly condensed.
“features”, “news” and “live” which are the main interest points are on the right side of the page in a much larger font in
order to catch the readers eye first.

3. Q contents page
Q has a double page spread for its contents page which is mainly dominated by pictures of the artists in the
interviews/reviews. This is because Q includes many different genres therefore it tries to get as many pictures of artists
from each genre as possible in order to attract the reader’s attention.
The main articles in the magazine are highlighted by a picture with a large page number on it, the reader will immediately
read these first and should make them interested in the magazine.
The less important articles are listed on the left of the left page and the right of the right page in order not to take too much
space for the pictures, but it is still in an easily readable sized font as the double page spread allows much more room.
The colour scheme of the contents page is red white and black. The writing is in black and red is used to underline an
important article or used in some of the pictures. White is used in some places such as page numbers on a red picture in
order for it to be clear and stand out.

4. Mojo contents page
Mojo contents page is very simply set out. Half the page is taken up by a picture of an artist and the other half are the
articles listed very clearly and simply.
The colour scheme is predominantly black with a white background while red is only used for page numbers which makes
the whole layout seem simple, clear and easy to read.
Under the picture of the artist is a quote from the interview which will be something shocking or exciting which makes the
reader want to read the whole article.
The articles are clearly listed and despite the plain colours still stand out as the name of the artist is in a larger font which
makes it stand out from the small writing.
