The document summarizes and analyzes the contents page layout of Q Magazine. It notes that the masthead uses the phrase "Inside this week" instead of "Contents" to make it more interesting. The contents are presented with images and captions rather than just a plain list, making the articles seem more engaging. Key details like page numbers and the subscription ad are prominently displayed to help readers navigate. The overall design breaks from conventions to create a more visually appealing contents page.

3. Instead of saying “Contents”, The creators of the magazine
have made the masthead a little bit different by putting
“Inside this week”. This instantly makes the contents page
more interesting and also informs the reader that the
magazine is out each week. The masthead also acts as a bit
of an enigma and helps to draw in the audience.
The Masthead is placed at the top of the page so that it is
the first thing that the audience reads. They have used a
bold, block font really attract attention to the mast head and
to ensure it stands out.

4. A Simple contents listed in chronological order
according to the page number. The word “Plus” is
written in a more feminine font to counteract the more
masculine style of the magazine and make it more
appealing to both genders.
The same font is used for each article title to avoid
confusing the reader and to make it more simple for
them. The page numbers are all bold to help them to
stand out.

5. As a more eye catching way of presenting the
contents, the magazine has created a contents
based around images with captions or article
titles. This is a fantastic way of presenting a
contents page as it catches the audiences eyes
and makes different articles seem much more
interesting.
Contents pages have a stigma of being “The
boring page” However the way this is
presented ad's a quirky and interesting style
and takes the boringness out of the page. It also
gives the viewer more of an insight of what the
article is going to be about.
The Page numbers are all in the same style, red
and bold, and are all placed in the bottom right
hand side of the corner; this means that if a
viewer see’s a image that they are interested
in, they can quickly find which page the image
is featured on

6. The contents page includes an
advertisement to subscribe to the
magazine. The fact that it is placed in a
bright red box and bold writing makes
it much more eye catching. This means
that if the reader is interested In the
magazine, they know that they can
subscribe to it.

7. The date is situated underneath the masthead so that
readers can easily see the date that the magazine was
released.

8. I really like the layout of this
magazine. It is quite unusual and
makes the contents page much
more interesting.
The colour scheme matches the
one used on the cover which adds
stability to the magazine and does
not confuse the reader.
