contents analysis

The contents page is quite basic because it is usually the first page looked at when the magazine is opened so they want it to be clear and easy to see what’s inside the magazine. It has made all the headings really clear by putting coloured boxes around them and having bigger fonts so you know what is in each section. They have also used when talking about what’s on each page they have bold one or two words so people are intrigued to find out more for example “ROCK STAR FITNESS” which alone doesn’t give the reader much information so they put underneath a bit more information so making the reader already start to read it. They have also used capitals on all headings and subheadings to make them stand out drawing the readers eye to them. They have only used one type of text and only a few colours because Q magazine try to keep to their house style as much as possible so all the magazine looks like it goes together. They have put a big picture of the Courteeners on the contents because they are still trying to get people to buy it and by having a band like the Courteeners in a big picture who are a lot of peoples idealself and ideal partner will get a lot more people interested.
