2. Q magazine contents page analysis
Firstly, the Q magazine has placed the
masthead/logo of the magazine in the
contents page which was also used in the
front cover. This is part of the consistent
house style which is used in the magazine.
The magazine contents page has also
provided the website of the magazine as an
alternative way of contacting the magazine
company.
The magazine also uses a group picture of a
band which is quite effective because it makes
the contents page look more interesting and
appealing to the audience.
The page numbers of the contents are
highlighted in red which makes it more visible
to the readers and makes the readers aware
of where the contents are.
A mini review of a double page spread is
placed at the bottom of the page to indicate to
the readers that the double page spread is
also part of the contents in the magazine.

The magazine includes effective pictures
which are related to the rock music genre so
this makes it more appealing to the rock

There is a consistency in the house style
used between the masthead and the

and black which makes the magazine more
effective.

the artist underneath their pictures to give
the target audience a sense of knowledge
towards the rock celebrities.

clearly laid out in 3 columns which is used by

very effective because it portrays the genre
of the music magazine which would also be
quite appealing for the target audience.

house style through the contents magazine
because the font colour used is black and
the elements used are also black which are
quite similar to each other therefore it adds

5. Vibe magazine contents page analysis
The image of the celebrity used in the
magazine is very effective because the
woman’s legs are in the air and this is
used to make the V shape which
represents the Vibe magazine masthead.
The font which is used on the word
“contents” is the same colour and the
same font style as the masthead of the
magazine. This creates a sense of a
consistent house style in the magazine. In
addition, the silver background also
corresponds with the clothes which the
celebrity is wearing and this also adds the
design of the contents page.
The magazine also adds the page
numbers of the contents which also makes
it easier for the readers to find the pages
which they are looking for.
