Magazine Research-Q contents page

   Similarly to other magazines I have researched into, Q magazine incorporates the use of subheadings to enable easy access to relevent articles. Therefore its likely that I will incorporate a similar thing in my own contents page.
    Again, the magazine follows a similar trend of incorporating the magazine logo next to the title, creating a sense of introduction which will help engage the reader into the magazine effectively. Yet this magazine fails to introduce its audience as effectively as kerrang! as it doesnt include any introductory passage from the editor.
    The magazine contents appears to follow a monotonous colour scheme which is a similar one to NME, red, black and white. However, Q appears to feature an 'oasis special,' contents in gold, a rich, fruitful colour usually associated with status and wealth. The juxtaposition of the monotonous colour scheme with such a rich colour creates a bold contrast overemphasising the status of the 'oasis special,' implying it as being more important.
      This magazine contents page appears to be very text based with little inclusion of pictures, although they incorporate a couple of posed images, the magazine seems to have a very definite structure which gives a very organised and formal impact, something i would not like to link into my magazine as formality isn't the sort of thing i feel is appropriate to my magazine theme.
      The way that the magazine separates the review section from the rest of the magazine contents appear to be a recurrent theme and is something i find very interesting. This appears to give an idea of the reviews section being completely individual which suggests that the gig experience and reviewing gigs is a completely unique experience.
