The Q magazine contents page uses color, images, and layout to highlight key sections. Red page numbers stand out against black text. A large band photo promotes the main feature. Reviews are separately blocked. Like NME, Q links the contents to the cover through a repeated masthead logo and dates to help readers find past or future issues.
