This contents page is taken from Vibe magazine, but I think it would work well with the classic style of Q magazine; maybe it will be worth me taking a look at these styles together.

Number one thing with this magazine I think is the way they have written “contents”, I would definitely like to consider doing this for my contents. Simplistic with a big effect!

The writing is minimalist, weather this is a clever idea is different, but it says that the artist is the most important feature for the page.

Second thing about this page would be the picture, I like it how the women is wrapped around the words, she puts the power into this page, just by the way she has been set out. How they only use one image as well to create the page is dangerous and as an effect kind of plain, I will have to consider this, because you never want the person reading to think “wow, that’s boring”.

Many features make up this magazine’s contents, from the main images, writing, and colour scheme. The format of the

page I will probably use in my magazine, this magazine has a main column of “this weeks happenings” to the right, it’s there if the reader wants more information, but if they just want a little they are able to look at the pictures and generalise the content.

A little added touch which they have put in is the page numbers on the pictures, I love this, it’s little details like this which make a contents page look professional.

I like these several small images, they help to show what’s in the magazine, I would have to take several shots and pin them together like this to see if they worked.

I like how this magazine’s contents page separates the pictures and the writing, this might be worth playing with when making my contents page to see which design layout suits my sophisticated music magazine the best.

I like how the editor has used the masthead to begin the page. It gives the reader a starting point to read from and is simple yet effective.

Like in the magazine on the past page, there have been small pictures used to mix in with the articles. I really like this idea and it makes the writing more interesting.

The photos used in this compilation, are a mix of action shots and set up shots and even part cartoon. This range of “types” of pictures used makes the space interesting and full of variety.

Looking at the small features, I notice the numbers are all aliened, it’s easy readable and affective for the reader to be able to pin point the article they want to read quickly and effectively.
