Q contents

Again i looked and analysed and contents page form Q music magazine. The contents page consists of 3 prime colours, red, white and black. Each are used for different purposes and are asscocitaed with the magazine itself. The red is used as as border , to topic and number the text and articles without it looking crammed. This allows it to be readable at a much faster pace.
The black is used to inform the audience of basic information. 
The white is used in the background which allows the different coloured text's to stand out against each other therefore allowing information not to be missed.

The pictures represent to the audience the main articles in the magazine without reading it. It allows them to gain quick knowledge of other features . Also it suggests the larger the image the more important it is , which will interest the reader.
In both Q magazine and NME , there is a mixture of posed and live, black and white photography. This gives it a more journalist feel and makes it more visually interesting. The photography also makes it easier to identify which artist is which by the angle shot used and quality of the images.

The pronounced use of " subscribe today " is a sly yet effective way of persuading people to get the magazine on a regular occasion.
the images used on the content page feature a variety of artists , making the magazine and even greater prospect as the audience will feel more engaged and want to read the magazine more, by showing bands like Foo Fighters of the content.

In the bottom corner , it instantly  informs the audience of the page which they are currently viewing. The typography of this text allows it to stand out and connotes its importance.

The shot in the middle is shot suing a mid shot , face on angle shot, focusing on her top half of her body. Whats draws you are the contrasting colours of her gold sequined dress and red statement making hair.
The main focus of this contents page , is the photo of Florence Welsh from " Florence and the Machine". Although there is no text about her or article about her, she is still the focus point which will lead readers into Turing to page 96 to see what is written about how, leaving the reader wanting to know more.
