1) The contents page uses capital letters and a thin, tall font for "CONTENTS" to align with the logo and help readers identify the page. 2) The main focus of the magazine can be found on page 48, which is clearly indicated. 3) Imagery includes a close-up shot of a woman's face with manipulated makeup and lighting on the main page, along with photos from events on secondary pages.

1. House Style
With the title of ‘CONTENTS’, it has
used capitals letters and is very thin
and tall aligning with the logo at
the left side for the reader to be
aware what page they are reading
at. For the slogan it has used
capitals and spreads throughout
the logo till the S letter from
capitals. Clearly it wants the reader
to identify what issue the magazine
is from the contents page instead
of the front cover as it will make
them ‘turn’ the page. The pages
uses similar techniques from other
Q magazines, the main page that
people would focus on would be
page 48 where it clearly indicates
the main focus of the magazine.
Use of rule of thirds
The use rule of thirds is seen in this page where at the primary
optical area it focuses on the main image of the close-up shot and
the terminal area where It focuses on the two secondary images.
Design Symmetry
The design symmetry of the
magazine is revealed from the image
at the top left where these two men
are identical with the use of mise en
scene and the body language.
Design Balance
The design of the magazine is
informally balanced. The use of text
is different from the most focused
and the other text below.
Headlines
The text of ‘140 SONGS TO
DOWNLOAD NOW!’ is the main
headline in this page where they
want to announce the audiences
the latest updated music chart or
introduce them to new music.
Imagery
4 images are used in this page. The
main image is the biggest where it’s
listed in page 48. The main image is
an extreme close-up shot of a
woman her left side face is cut
focusing on the blood running in her
face, where this is manipulated from
her make-up and eyes using lighting
at the middle of her face. The two
images below are actual photos that
are taken in events or gigs. The other
image is at the left side where this is
a picture of an album that came out
and is available to download.
Extra Features
This page has used extra features such as the mouse where they
announced what songs to download. This is done largely to tell
the audience that they should download the music now in iTunes.
Also at the very bottom of the page there is a page number along
with the masthead and the date of when it published.
Banners
Banners are used to guide the page
for the audiences. At the left side at
the features, it has used a red banner
and goes well with the masthead of
the magazine as it also has used a
red block. Also we can slightly see a
thin banner that above the features
and the main image along with the
issue 307. This is used as a guide to
make the magazine balanced.

2. House Style
We find the masthead is in the
contents page where this is also
gives a rough view of the page
where it says ‘this week’ which
means that the magazine is
distributed weekly. The colour
black, red and white goes together
with the masthead. The headline
starts off with an ellipsis of ‘…’ to
build tension towards the audience
who would want to know what
happened during the tour. The use
of ‘kicked off’ is a metaphor for
successful. This is done to make
this more relevant to the audiences
in which the audiences are for 18+
making this relate to them.
Use of rule of thirds
The use of rule of thirds is seen in this page where we find the
split image at the optical area and other advertisements at the
terminal area where this doesn’t bring importance to the
magazine.
Design Symmetry
Design symmetry is seen in this page
were features and index page are in
each opposite sides as well as the
images are in half to make the page
equal.
Design Balance
The design of this page is formally
balanced if we split the page
vertically we’d find both sides are
equal as one side includes index,
and features in the other.
Headlines
The main headline in this page is
‘…Oasis kicked off their world tour’
this indicates that the magazine is
focusing towards the band oasis.
Kicked off’ reveals that the tour
was successful even at the actual
footage of images. As well as the
use of ‘the moment that…’
Imagery
We can find two main imageries in
this page where they are stuck
together. Both of them are from a
band called ‘Oasis’ actual
unmanipulated pictures were taken
during the world tour. Actual lighting
is used when these pictures where
taken. Two of these people who are
the vocals of the band are wearing
opposite colours where one is
wearing black to give the rock
attitude and the other one wearing
white with acoustic guitar to give the
soft and calm attitude.
Extra Features
The issue date is over layered at the banner of the page where
this is made to be white in contrast to the black. The page also
advertises itself by wanting the audiences to ‘subscribe’ to them
to keep updated in the weekly magazine. The page also has tiny
red arrows next to the features section.
Banners
The banners used in this contents
page is shown from the top where
this links to the masthead of the
magazine underlining the phrase
‘this week’ to make this the main
section of the page where the
audiences can easily identify. The
features section at the right hand
section also does this to guide the
audiences in which page they want
to read.

3. House Style
The phrases ‘contents’ and ‘this
week’ both have used the same
font and colour as well as the size.
The phrase ‘Kerrang!’ has used
exactly the same masthead as
broken windows from the front
cover of the magazine with similar
font but made slightly smaller. To
give more space for the features
page and the imageries. The phrase
‘Kerrang!’ and ‘this week’ has both
used the same font but Kerrang is
slightly wider and thicker to bring
importance to the magazine.
Description fonts is more formal
than the headers and is more
suitable for reading.
Use of rule of thirds
The use of rule of thirds is seen in this magazine where we’d find
the image of the main focus of the magazine at the top and the
features at the bottom.
Design Symmetry
Design symmetry is seen in this
magazine at the bottom half where it
has used both images and equal
features of the page of what it will
include although the right side of the
page has an image of adverts.
Design Balance
The magazine is informally
balanced where both top and
bottom of the page brings
importance as these are very
important to the audiences.
Headlines
There are no big headlines unlike
the other magazines but has used
smaller headlines on the features
page with headers. This is made to
be bold where this brings
importance to the magazine as it’s
a guide for the audiences.
Imagery
At the top of the page it shows a full
imagery of a person who may be in
one of the bands or involved with
music in this kind of rock genre. The
clothes he is wearing are all black
including a cover up of sunglasses to
make him look like a ‘cool’ figure.
There’s also imagery on the left side
of the page in a close-up shot of a
man that’s looking fierce and
wearing black top to fit in the genre
of the magazine. There are also
images of magazines at the top that
also promotes other bands.
Extra Features
At the left imagery below the description, we find the signature of
his to be below to indicate to the audiences that the description is
officially made by him. Like the other magazines, it has used forms
of advertising itself by telling the audiences to subscribe to them
and delivered.
Banners
The banner is placed at the middle of
the page where this splits the section
from the top a full imagery and the
bottom where this shows the
features page and other
advertisements and main focus of
the magazine. Also the features page
where this is a guide for the
audiences to make it easier for them
to what page they want to view.
