Not all in capitals – not as important and quite obvious what it is.

Sticking to the black and yellow theme.

Large picture shows main story, possibly sex appeal as not a live shot.

Doesn’t reveal much of the story, just what page it’s on so fans can skip to that page.

Mini Headlines reveal part of story – interests reader.

Editor/publisher/director of magazine’s review. Done weekly.

Well organised so the less organised photos are more clear.

Clear page numbers

Visible tattoo matches music genre stereotype. Use of a colour theme.

Clear colour makes the contents page neater and easier to read.

Top of text blended in with background to stick to the magazine’s alternative feel.

Use of one clear image so there’s more room to reveal other stories. Clear image to reveal main story.

Larger, bolder text to inform more about the main story – matches image above.

Yellow font to make it stand out more, draw reader in to subscribing to magazine.

Red to match magazine’s name which is also in red.

The live shot I feel adds more for the bands reputation suggesting they really do want to make it and aren’t fussed on how they look, giving the band a better reputation for their music not their image.

Keeping the magazine’s name at all times shows it’s importance.

Big heart to draw reader in, then will lower eyes to infamous Elton John – reveal he will be in magazine.

Superimposed image over the other image so the artist’s pose can be shown and to also give the magazine an alternative, artistic feel to it.

Use of magazine’s name in the same corner as front page – sticking to a running theme.

Red background, white text which follows the theme of the magazine’s red and white ‘Q.’

Quote out of the blocks used for magazine’s pages so it stands out and interests the reader.

Green box as it’s different to what the rest of the contents page is showing, - easier for the reader to see.
