1. Contents Page Analysis
By David Campbell

2. Text is edgy and bright which
makes it more memorable
and stands out from the
other music magazines. I like
this approach and believe I
will do something similar.
The main picture on the
magazine contents page
is very big and bold this
tells the audience there
is a main story about this
artist and drags their
attention to the main
article
The magazine has put all
their pages into columns
this makes it easier for
people to read and
understand. Also having
the subheadings in a bold
colour also tells the reader
what is in each section
without them having to
click through the
magazine. This appeals to
the magazines target
audience as it is very
unbalanced edgy and
creative.
The magazine has
added lots of images
to the contents page
to make it look very
busy and appealing to
their target audience.
This also pulls the
readers into reading
more of the magazine
as it interests them
Having a mini article on
the contents page gives
the readers an inside to
what the magazine
contains and the theme of
their magazine.

3. This contents page is very busy which
highlights Q is a very popular magazine
which has a lot of depth in content.
The magazine has added lots of images to the
contents page to make it look very busy and
appealing to their target audience. This also pulls the
readers into reading more of the magazine as it
interests them.
The magazine has added photos of some
of the images already inside this gives
the readers a peak into the magazine
and helps them understand what is going
on in the magazine
The magazine contains lots of articles, freebies, photos
etc this makes the readers feel like they are getting
more for their money and they are willing to spend
money on this magazine.
The colours of
this magazine
are bold and
bright this
shows this is a
very serious
magazine and
is part
Rock/Rap.
Gives off an
aggressive
vibe.

4. The layout of the contents page
is that all the text is on the mid
–half-way on the right hand
side and you could tell that a
grid has been used. This is
because the texts are lined
neatly on the right hand side
and the main image has taken
two-thirds of the page
The main image has taken more of
the space and the content of the
text is a lot but it is very small font
therefore it shows how
sophisticated the magazine is and
how organised it is. You could tell
the magazine had been carefully
placed and chosen the font of text
with thought as you can tell the
magazine has kind of elegance.
There is one image and the
mise en scene helps it make
it look very elegant and neat.
The costume Eminem is
wearing contributes to my
point of him looking very
formal and neat. The lighting
just shone his face as this
emphasises who he is and
the importance of him.
The contents page consists with
the front page cover with the
similar mise en scene. The
clothing the artists are wearing
on the front cover is the same as
the contents page which is very
formal and smart wear and this
relates to the magazine as it is a
very sophisticated magazine.
