Q Magazine Contents Page Review


The Q Magazine contents page features a header with the 'Q' logo in the same position as it is found on the front cover. The banner at the top tells us that the page is the contents and use a consistent sans serif, bold font throughout. The colours used, black, red and white, maintain the house style of the front page. In the top right is the date and issue number of the magazine.

Down the right hand side is a column that tells the reader where, firstly, the features (unique selling points found on the cover) and in this issue's case, the "Oasis Special", which in itself could be classed as a feature, can be found. At the bottom of this column is a section which shows us where the "every month" components can be found, such as the crossword. 

The main image is of the band The Courteeners, with a cover line over the image telling us the name of the band, the page it can be found on and a quote from the interview, a device to entice the reader with an anecdote. The band are could be classed as rock and this is fitting with image of the magazine and what you would expect to find in the magazine. The image is set in the hills, a field-like scenery that represents the festival association with rock.

At the bottom is a 'Q Review' which gives the reader directions as to where to find the different review articles. The box again follows the house style of the magazine but there is a slight variation with an almost blue wash background, establishing a difference between that particular section and the rest of the magazine.
