When you look at Q’s content page you can see that they have continued a consistent use of the colour red, this has been done to allow the reader to be navigate around the page according to the most and least important information on the page, it is also used to highlight the logo “Q” to allow the readers to recognise the magazine .

The logo “Q” is placed to the top left hand side of the page because the reader will be reading left to right on the page, so the producers of the content page have made sure that the first thing you see is the logo of the magazine, again this has been done so the reader can identify the magazine, it also leads the reader towards the title “CONTENTS” again a way to allow the reader to identify the purpose of the page.

The main image is of one of the members from “BEADY EYE” the use of image is large and takes up a large portion of the page which would lead the reader to thinking this was the main story featured in the magazine, but the main story is of the band “Queen” so this could be a misleading feature to the content page. But it may be that this band is just as important as the band ”Queen” there for because of this they have tried to show both of the two bands to be just as important as one another in the magazine.

The main story in the magazine has been identified on the content page by their use of highlighting the description of the band “Queen” in red underneath a small picture of the band. This has been done because by highlighting the description red will drew the reader towards that description first. They have also made the title “Queen” a lot larger then the other titles featured on the story board, this again is to drew the reader to this particular story.

When you look at this content page you can see that only two images are used and really only two to three colours have been used. Although this is so, it still looks very professional. By not using so many elements it allows the reader to navigate the page without any trouble, it is also very attractive which draws in reader interest.
