Contents Page Analysis

This is a contents page from Q magazine. This issue's lead article is about The Courteeners therefore their image is used to fill a big area of the contents page. The page listings are along the left side of the page, it uses big bold numbering and black titles, this helps a skim reader find their page quicker, this is also used in the 'reviews' cell and on the main image.

The colour scheme on this page is black, red and white; they are very powerful colours and the red and black against the white background show dominance, formal layout, adult reading. A younger persons magazine might have more colours; clashing and contrasting, more going on, and more imagery but this just makes Q magazine seem more adult in comparison which is what the readers would want.

The page is organised into three cells; listings, main image and secondary feature (in this case - reviews). The page is easy to navigate, appropriate for the audience, the text and numbers are very distinguishable giving ease of accessing the correct page, and simple colour text boxes are used for the title to show the different cells.

This contents reflects well the reader's needs and wants, the house style and content, it is especially easy to navigate and has a good colour scheme, these are both reflections on an adult audience.
